we live in an age where you're considered good enough to be a boxer if you have lots of muscle and tattoos.

No he is shi.t reminds of that Jorge Kahwagi.

I thought the same thing. Maybe greased a few palms to be put on the televised section of the show.

The Bellew comment stumped me when I heard it on the tv, but I think he was referring to his Opponent (who's first name is Bela).

This basketball stuff is a bit a bit peculiar too. He only looked about 5'11, 6ft max. No way he's playing a decent level of basketball over there

I don't think he was because he said who should he look to fight next on the domestic scene and then he said Bellew haha.

Fournier should start turning up at Bellew's press conferences and start calling him out. The public demands it.

My mistake...I must've been giving the bloke the benefit of the doubt, as it was such a stupid thing to say. Unless he was being sarcastic...but I doubt it. It speaks volumes that they put him in with such an inept boxer. A Jody Meikle or Mitch Mitchell type fighter would've wiped the floor with him. Mind you, look at the level of opposition in the headline and co-headline event....

He used to own a nightclub in London with our very own Barry Jones..

they got their priorities wrong, they were prepared to show all of fourniers fight but only showed the last 4 rounds of the middleweight english title fight which the presenter said had been a war and then joins it in round 8 :witzend: i get they are trying to appeal to a younger audience but dont forget about the boxing

I've got a feeling Fourniers opponent might of got a good payday from last night if you know what I mean :box:

Must be a dream come true for the lad. Gone from a white collar show to O2 on terrestrial tv with the whole tv team cumming in their pants over you, talking about potential world title level opponents.
I've got a feeling he won't ever be deleting that from his sky plus. Good on him. I'm proper jealous of the fella.

Ahh, the mysterious 'public' that have demanded that David Haye fights a mouthy 44 year old & previously demanded that he defended his HW trinket against the next to useless Audley Harrison. :OhYes: :lol:

That'll be the one. "The public" clearly has a lot to answer for!

I’m new to this story....looks like a little digging is going to turn up some gems. Yes......it certainly sounds like a low-point if true...and there’s been a few of them.

I heard Fournier bought 100,000 pounds worth of tickets and gave them away for the chance to box on a David Haye card - no kidding!
