curtis woodhouse v ashley theophane

[curtis wood]

ive today informed rich poxon of hatton promotions via twitter and dean powel from FWP that im willing to fight ashley theophane free of charge all the money can go to the champ win lose or draw, this is a real offer, all i ask for is 8 weeks notice to get in shape, ash can have all the money but the belt will leave with me

[milpool]

Fair play to you. It's clear that you want it and surely they can't ignore your offer.
I wish you luck in getting your shot...even though you did play for Hull City

[curtis wood]

i got told he wanted loads of money, this solves the problem

[Crazyboy]

Loving that mate!!!! Like ya style....can tell you are genuinely inetrested in fighting him

Would love to see this come off, whether this approach works or not

UTB!

(Oh, and I'll look after the money, i have an offshore account......name of 'rover73', pay it into that)

[curtis wood]

[Adamj1987]

Good luck hope it happens, i love it when people do this they deserve all the best.

You sre showing how much a shot means to you but it could set a bad precedent for other boxers; perhaps with less of a cash cushion to fall back on. IMO it wouldn't be a bad match up but both of you are profesional and licensed boxers, you ought both be paid. (I think in the 'old days' a tough challenger was required to sign away a proportion of their future earnings to the champ in case they won the title; that sort of thing ought to be kept in the past; not helped into the present).

as i said in an earlier post, i've offered to 'look after' the money......

I do see what you mean in all seriousness, but i genuinely believe its because he wants the fight so badly, not because he maybe has money already

[palooka]

I can imagine that Curtis is chomping at the bit. He's had some good results and up against some good men. He's done loads better already than most thought he would and is a proper boxer; not a novelty or ex footballer messing about. I hope he gets a shot, and I hope he gets paid the going rate for it.

Fair play to you Curtis, hope it comes off. If the board doe force a payment (min wage) you could always tell them to make a charitable donation and they can write the tax off

[curtis wood]

i know what your saying but he doesnt have to accept the offer, but all im trying to do is give him and his team every opportunity to defend against me next, i could wait until he vacates and try and get a fight with the new champ whoever that might be but i want ash because hes a very well respected fighter and i would feel better about taking the belt off the real deal then nobody could say jack shittttt

[Tommy Gunn13]

i got told he wanted loads of money, this solves the problem

How much is he looking for a British title defence then Curtis??? Hope you get the fight,on his last showing hes there for the taking

[curtis wood]

its not fair for me to say the figure i was told mate

[Tommy Gunn13]

its not fair for me to say the figure i was told mate

Ok just PM me your secret is safe with me

would of thought you not far away now curtis now nigel wright not allowed to box again get him smashed up your time will come

[daddy-rhino]

That's what I like to here get in there wiggy, up the owls

[rhino222]

Curtis...how do your promoter and manager feel having a reasonable percentage of nothing?.... :(

[twenty six]

Well at least the cheque won't bounce !

[IRLangmaid25]

It is a ballsy decision from Curtis Woodhouse to call out the Champion Ashley Theophane and to fight for free I will give him that. But I just feel that Theophane has too much for him in terms of experience and class at a superior level in my opinion in my eyes, but I wish Curtis all the best though.

[deadpan]

I think mighty respect is deserved for Curtis. As boxing ex-sportsmen go he is the anti-Mark Gastineau.

I must be right, it rhymed.

[JamesH]

If Curtis was to keep constant pressure on Ashley, in the manner Ben Murphy did, I think he'd win. Johnny Eames had the right tactics, just the wrong fighter at the wrong weight.

[danfoster]

Curtis - fair play for showing such a good attitude but surely your management team (who are there to look after your best interests) wont let you step into the ring without some form of payment being guaranteed mate?

Good luck with it anyway and i should think that sooner or later you will get the chance to fight for that belt. Put it this way, you are probably nearer to a shot than Frankie Gavin is and who would have possibly thought that even six months ago?

(weren't you still playing football when he turned pro??)
