Would you be interested in a sports romance based on a more niche sport?

I’m an aspiring author and I had an idea for a sports romance book.

Most sports romances I’ve seen focus on well known sports, primarily football/soccer. I was talking about this with an author friend and mentioned how I’d really like to write a sapphic romance about the sport I love - fencing.

Now obviously as someone who likes the sport, this appeals to me. But would you be interested in reading something like this even if you didn’t know the sport that well? Or does there need to be a sort of common knowledge that applies to more popular sports?
