Quick update from me recorded twice today with Porky, booked the day off as had hospital appointment after so took my mind off it with gym and talking my waffle I’m a two parter with Porky. I’m elated to say I’m officially in remission. My current PSA levels are almost undetectable. I’ve no idea wh...

It was an incredible fight to watch. Rico had a very smart game plan and stuck to it brilliantly. Uysk, suddenly looked old in there, I felt. I was a bit apprehensive when he came in so heavy. But, despite much of the fight not going his way, he found a way to win at the end. I felt it was a compass...

Incredible fight. Huge respect to both fighters - they can be immensely proud of themselves.

Wish the corner had pulled Wardley out/the ref had stopped the fight a couple of rounds earlier.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing some of your history in the boxing game. Lovely to read about. Looks like some really good times were had over the years. Did you get to meet the Klitschko's on your travels? If so, how did they come across? They've always seemed like good guys to me. Easy to forget...

Agit Kabayel is a quality operator. I hope he is involved in some big fights soon.

Naz's comments made me feel sad. First, Johnny is one of life's good guys - like Brendan, he is motivated by helping people. Second, he thought a very tough competitor ( Carl Thompson) to win the World title and then defended that title 14 times. That's a stellar career in anyone's books. He also le...

I really warm to Fabio. A very bright, articulate and thoughtful guy. Gracious. He has developed into a very fine fighter. Calm under pressure, big punching and tough as old boots.

A hard night's work for anyone.

Nigel Benn beating Iran Barkley in Round 1, in August 1990, Las Vegas.

Johnny Nelson is defending Brendan because with him he was nothing. So hes being loyal. But Ingle was definitely taking too big a cut of Naz’s purses. I don't think that is a fair statement. Johnny is a very bright and engaging guy and would do very well in all walks of life. But, yes, he and Brend...

Part 2.

Congratulations to Dalton Smith. What an incredible achievement!

I totally agree with Johnny: Brendan was not motivated by cash. On any given day, money would have been right at the bottom of the things he was thinking about. His motivation was about helping people having a fair crack of the whip at life. In Brendan's words, he enjoyed " the craic" - th...

Excellent points by Johnny:

I really enjoyed the movie. Fight scenes were as to be expected for a movie but as others stated the focus was more on the relationship between Hamed and Ingle. Brought back fond memories of training at my first amateur boxing gym and finding an escape from the racism I experienced growing up in th...

Really enjoyed the film. The second half was stunning and I felt Piers Brosnan, pardon the pun, made a really good fist of it. Not only did Brendan and Naz conquer the boxing World together, their partnership has now led to a good boxing film being made with a Hollywood actor giving it his all. So, ...

Herbie won 43 of 49 bouts by KO and lost 4 times - to Riddick Bowe, Vitali Klitschko, Joseph Chingangu by KO - which he reversed 2 years later with a first round stoppage and to Mindaugas Kulikauskas following a clash of heads, the cut from which brought about the Referees stoppage. With that recor...

What a really sad piece of news. May AJ's friends RIP and I hope he makes a full recovery, physically and mentally.

Tickets for this are free at certain cinemas next week as part of the Escapes initiative. Me and eldest boy have got ours. Adding link: https://escapes.cinematik.app/ Thank you. I'm looking forward to this. I think that gym deserves a TV series and Brendan should be featured on Matthew Paris' ' Gre...

Here's to a happy and healthy retirement. A quality fighter and a class act.

I expect it will do good viewing figures. What's the capacity of the stadium? Perhaps the fans are a bit jaded by the YouTube exhibitions and weird fights?

A very dignified response from the always classy Duke McKenzie.

But that's the beauty of it. We get to see some self aggrandising twerp, who has created his own persona on social media get a reality check from someone who is serious, proven and dangerous in real life. Walter Mitty is about to get on the balcony with the SAS. I'm genuinely excited to see him get...

Why not make Fury vs Chisora 4 for Derek's 50th fight? It makes sense, just as Fury vs Chisora 3 did.

Fury is a very good fighter, no doubt about that, but I couldn't see him beating: Prime Riddick Bowe Prime Evander Holyfield Prime Mike Tyson Prime Lennox Lewis Prime George Foreman Prime Muhammad Ali Just a step or two behind those guys. Still a very good talent though. I would have liked to see Ha...
