Where is it and when? Mind, I just stumped up a few quid for a Jeff Fenech signed glove, not sure the missus will be too keen on more hard-earned going on pugilistic fripperies...
And I wouldn't have thought money spent leaving the Isle of Wight would ever be a waste...

I was just going to tell you where it was, but read the last bit of your message.
Just because we live in caves down here is no reason to take the micky.

Good place to pick up a WBU world title if you've got a spare fiver I'm told.

I went last year a few good bits there. Not sure if I will go this weekend or not.
A few boxers there last year. Michael Watson was signing his book, Mickey Vann was signing his book, Jason Booth was there

I'll be going - always like to spend a few notes on unnecessary boxing memorabilia for the study. Although my wife is not coming, I am meeting her straight afterwards so will have to 'fess up to any major purchases. Thankfully its 2-4 so always stone cold sober when its on (would probably spend x10 if drunk)
Anyone got anything signed by Joe Louis - Ali stuff is almost ubiquitous, but very little stuff around signed by the real greatest.

Not sure about signatures I know someone who has a ring belt from Joe Louis estate, not sure how rare they are.
I've heard most of the Ali stuff around is fake, but Dave of
http://www.Boxing-Memorabilia.com who has loads of Ali stuff and Andy for
http://www.allstarsignings.com are normally at the fayre.
