Where abouts in Pontefract did they hold this?
Its my home town. I can only think the town hall or squash club. We not be renouned for boxing round here, but we've had a few decent pros lately.
My mate texted me last night, to say this fight was taking place in Pontefract, I got excited for a few moments as he seemed very, very certain of his facts. The fxxking knob. I've been wondering all day why it would possibly be staged in Ponty - my hometown - and can now see he was pissed as a fart when he skimmed through the thread.
We were meant to get Joe Frazier down the road in Castleford earlier this year, but the promoter staged a Ricky Hatton event a few weeks earlier, and the fans drank the civic centre dry of beer, it ended in a big fall out between the promoter and the council and I'm told he won't bring any such events back to council properties. So he staged it elsewhere and trebled the ticket prices, £20 for a slap up meal whilst listening to Joe Frazier is a bargain but the locals got robbed
Anyway, hello to fellow boxrecers from this part of the world, see you at Olubamwino vs Chisora at the squash club... I wish
