dominic Negus comeback
28 feb next year, 13 years since his last pro fight.
good to see him back? or just a sign of the times and a love of fighting that just wont go away?

Re: dominic Negus comeback
anybody read his book? it's meant to be good isn't it? It's one thing being a rough and ready type but it's another altogether messing about in this game, at his age, after a lay off like that. Get a job or a trade.

Match him with Danny Williams .
Re: dominic Negus comeback
Great book. Hardcase. Does come across as a bit of a bully/hot head in the book. The chapter that describes him getting atacked in a gym by a bunch of guys with machetes in revenge for a kidnapping is particularly brutal. Hes not a big fan of audley either. After planting the nut on him audley would let him in the changing room after the fight so dom got the hump!magwitch wrote:anybody read his book? it's meant to be good isn't it?

He's fought unlicensed during his hiatus.rhino222 wrote:28 feb next year, 13 years since his last pro fight.

He's a heavy guy but not a big guy, that's not as contradictory as it reads. I hoped he turn over as a light-heavy as I thought he'd do some damage at 12 stone 7lbs but that obviously didn't happen. He was fleshy at the old cruiserweight. Years on, I hope he gets what he wants.

Yawnnnn
A totally shot Danny Williams mullered him! This is a joke thread surely? He was pretty below average at his peak? Good luck to him.

I was watching his fight with Gary Delaney the other night. He didn't look too tough when Gary was screwing him out before they touched gloves.

Re: dominic Negus comeback
Dominic is Great, a real character. Very friendly, often at York Hall doing security.
If he wants to fight it's his choice, whether or not anyone else agrees with it.
I saw a real life documentary about Dominic years ago. It was gritty.

Re: dominic Negus comeback

Didnt Frankie Fryer do a piece on him several years ago?

Re: dominic Negus comeback
There was a program called Britain's hardest men or something like that, I think Danny Dyer hosted it, and there was one about Dom. That went into some detail about the gym attack and it sounded shocking. It was years ago thoughrio wrote:Any info on when he got attacked in the gym?

Seen him a few times at The circus tavern when the lads from his gym are fighting. was nice enough to me when we spoke.
Re: dominic Negus comeback
A Dominic of the Negus variety.
Re: dominic Negus comeback
He has completely nothing to offer to professional boxing! & vice versa!
Maybe he thinks he can get some readies by facing Joshua lol! Who he couldn't even be an opponent for now.
I like negus & respect him but it's a big no no
