dominic Negus comeback

Post by rhino222 »

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?

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.

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!

He's fought unlicensed during his hiatus.

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 :zzz: :zzz: 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.

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.

Any info on when he got attacked in the gym? Sounds like he was very lucky to make it out alive

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 though

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.

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
