Hi everyone, just been told about this by Steve wood so just wanted to clarify. Oliver never gave me ANY advice for the fight at any point. I never asked him, it was a tough enough job to do anyway because of my friendship with Derry without getting other people who are friends involved. I never onc...

Depends 26, middle but maybe LM depending on how it comes off, lost a little muscle while I been away. Anyway, that's IF! Hope your well mate.

Hiya fella's. Seeing as this is out in the open through social networking, and the fact it's made a topic, I may as well give you the lowdown. When I retired it was at a point when various factors combined took me to the stage where I had enough. Injuries after injuries (shoulders, Achilles, hip, ba...

Took the words out of my mouth!

As a side note fellas, he can't win his Lonsdale belt outright if his next defence isn't a mandatory, to win it outright you have to make 3 defences including one mandatory.

Woody I was picked in the daily sport as "ones to watch" goin into the new millennium (feel old now!!), along with Gavin Rees, Michael Jennings and tommy mcdonagh, and remember being buzzin! They called me "a white Nigel Benn"...which made it even better!! Good luck pal hope all ...

The fact you went to visit Mathew Macklin in the immediate aftermath of such an astonishing fight speaks volume's for your character. most would have gone celebrating. I also love how fighters give their little insights into how it is in the ring (when they're honest of course). One example is Ryan...

It's a really excellent watch, remembered the Jones fights like they were yesterday. Has this been made for commercial release, Sky Sports or just as a promotion for Jamie's career outside boxing? Just to tell my story so that people see what we have to go through from a fighters perspective and no...

Here's the finished version of my documentary guys, hope you enjoy it.

Michael Brodie v Neil Swain, great fight

Great man and great for the sport, he has made an impact on many boxing peoples lives and is one of the true unsung heroes.

RIP Mick, God bless. x

Ha ha quality, one of the nicest and most genuine men you could meet, not in boxing but in general. Kerry Kayes....

A fight that always goes unmentioned when people talk about cracking domestic fights and atmosphere's is Tony Dodson v Tony Quigley at the Echo arena. Absolutely brutal fight and had an unbeleivable atmosphere, one of the best i've been to.

Who wins?? 3x3's.

The EBU hav changed the rule since the Murray Mitchell fight, it is now at their discretion, otherwise Degale couldn't fight for the EBU title coming off a loss either.

Thanks for the reply ste woods . I didn't know the Moore operation saga but if correct I understand his loyalty and fair play but all I was saying is he was a great fighter and should of been world champion. but I still can't understand the top kids leaving you all the time . The must be something ...

Paddy ....Ive got over 50 fighters and If I only worked with Frank Maloney then I would have a lot of unhappy lads who very rarely fight as one promoter can only do so much.As it happens VIP work with all the TV promoters and small hall promoters as well as doing our own ,this helps keep the majori...

Agreed, one of the nicest blokes you'll come across. My manager from my debut in '99 until my last fight in 2010.

Cleverly gets no were near the credit he deserves for this win. The Facts..... -Karo Murat was ranked #7 by Ring Magazine. -Going into the fight he carried a perfect 22-0 record. -He was a former 168lb European Champion with 2 defences and never lost his that title in the ring. -Murat holds a win o...

English champion, plus its a volutary.

Yep I remember him quality little fighter. Bowlers is now back on the scene as well, Steve Wood has done a deal with them to do shows again. Great venue.

Yep, fighting like me shortens your career. Done at 31. Seriously though, it does, and as mentioned Witter is done, but he's 37(?), so had a decent run.

COME ON LARRY!!!!!!

come on Martin Murray!! Couldn't happen to a nicer lad, over the moon for him!
