Competition was stronger back then because more people boxed, and Breland was a youngster, not older.

I was at the Wincobank the day Wilt Chamberlain came in and smashed everyone with a jab. You might say that's easy, what with his height, but his arm was in a sling at the time.

And I looked at him — straight to his face like — and said “Well that's all very well, Wilt, but have you ever thrown a kettle over a pub?”. Never saw him again.

Let's not let that particular genie out of the bottle again, Kalan will make an unwelcome reappearance on here, after he claws his way out of his coffin.

Wilder met his match there - the only man in boxing, the only man who talks more total bollox than he does.
