I guess it depends on the contract. If Dana is obliged to get Tom X number of fights then he would struggle to leave him on the sidelines.

You either had ringside seats or good eyesight

A mate and I got cheap tickets but managed to blag our way to the £75 seats on the edge of the pitch and still couldn't see much.

Can't see what Hearn can really do for him. Situation is quite simple , When and IF Aspinal gets over his injury and gets fully fit to fight , He;s contracted to Dana and the UFC , so in laymans terms he gets fit next month .. Dana offers him a fight , Eddie can sit at the table and announce i'm hi...

Eddie brought him theough, stood by him when no one else did and delivered him two massive stadium fights. I hope the little sh1t gets his fair share of karma. Benn’s a pudendum but let’s not pretend Hearn did it for any other reason than because he saw £ signs. Isn't that what running a business i...

I don't know for sure how true it is but the extensive collection of videoman Eric Guy (RIP) who filmed just about every amateur boxer in London and the Home Counties from 1993 onwards, was allegedly thrown in a skip?

He has to have had one of the worst heavyweight chins I've seen.

Don't know what happened to my comment on this quote from someone else's earlier post?

How can you be 70k, box at 68 and can even think about getting down to 63kg? Box at your natural weight. Losing weight every time you go in the ring when your a growing 16 year old will not help you to progress. Brawlers come in all shapes, sizes and weights. You can't avoid them. To summarise: Your...

[/quote] My young mate, who is a journeyman, and I speak to him in the sauna at the fitness gym a few times a week has a plan. He doesn’t get decisions so he's going to stop all the prospects, that way all the top promoters will have to take notice. [/quote] When Ossie Duran stopped Jamie Moore - ar...

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 record...

How does the sport allow fighters who have won 1 out of 70 fights and turn up to LOSE without getting KOd. Is there any other sport which allows one of the two contestants to turn up and not only purposefully lose, but lose in a manner that showcases the worst possible version of the sport. That's ...

Looks like getting set up an endoscopy. I had one and was laid on my side as I had bacteria in my gut. Bilharzia? I had to look that up and it seems that's a worm that is passed by using Snails as the host? This was actually a colony of Snails that lived happily in his gut that gave him severe prob...

Looks like getting set up an endoscopy. I had one and was laid on my side as I had bacteria in my gut. I know a *couple of people who've had gut issues and they tend to come and go and are difficult to determine so any decision to pull out of a fight couldn't easily be made weeks before when feelin...

News stand magazines have always survived on a mixture of cover price and advertising revenue.

Although only an occasional advertiser I've not received a single sales call from the publishers of BN for many years.

RIP Mark

I'd been told that boxing hadn't left him in a great way before lockdown, probably 7 or 8 years ago.

He boxed for Billericay & Wickford Boxing club hence the Billericay Bomber?

I think the Billericay part is obvious to everyone

Clearly not

Tony Sibson was 21 years and 1 day!

It could be that George Liddard is the youngest to win both British and Commonwealth at the same time?

Kaylor was 22 when he won the British, Liddard is 23.

Amateur Boxing in the UK is struggling for Seniors. Team GB Boxers have to be disciplined, prepared to give up any other career prospects, live away from home, hope to fall into one of just 7 weight categories, to qualify for a place, and to medal, at the Olympics to give them a springboard into the...

No better proof that Boxing has gone to pot than this farce..........

JP will be calling out 78 year old, 4'6" tall Janette Krankie for a catchweight contest next

A generational great, with a noted style that the pundits call 'Fandabidozi' - should put bums on seats!

Ricky apparently has his house on the market?

Does he need the cash?

Cheers, he's had 31 bouts won 21 not 9 won 8 as posted earlier.

What weight is he?

I'm bemused? "The Panel concluded that it was 'not comfortably satisfied' that UKAD had proved that Mr Benn had committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation for the Use of clomifene. The provisional suspension previously in place has been lifted and the charge against him has been consequently dism...
