Most of the stuff is books or I've kept posters and programmes which I am in, amateur trophies too. In terms of kit I still proudly use my own including my dressing gown!
Of other stuff I've got a framed collection of boxing cigarette cards, some antique china figures, some framed boxing cartoons.
One Xmas my dad bought me a signed Tommy Hearns glove, I got him an IBF championship belt too

Do you have to look away when touching your cock? Or can you maintain eye contact.

I've a couple of sets of those, framed. Completely forgot I had them.

Got a bunch of autographs, a lot of them are sadly dead now.

Got a few bits. Probably best stuff is a Ali / Frazier signed picture. Ward and Gatti signed shorts. I also have an IBF belt which is same spec as real thing...I need to get that signed at some point.

Never had the slightest bit of interest in it.

Only thing close to it, is a poster I made myself which is a stylised version of the moment in the Hagler v Hearns fight where it all unravels, which I made donkeys years ago.

He's wrapping his hands so fortunately he's looking away from the camera, and he's on the wall to my left so I never have to look at him. I used to be quite the fan, so I would never throw him away, but the toilet is the only wall he would be allowed to grace in my humble abode.

Yeah modern stuff isn't my thing, most of what I have is 1910 - 1950

I've amassed quite a few bits and pieces over the years:

A signed pair of Antonio Margarito's handwraps
A photo of me with Canelo from when I bumped into him at the butchers
A wheelchair (of all things) made out to 'Mrs Thompson from the people of Liverpool' :maybe:
Most recently I acquired Wilder's costume from the Fury fight. Had to have a bit of a sit down after getting that in from the car

Nothing of note really.

My most prized possession are photos of Muhammad Ali and I, eye to eye when I met him in 1993. We had a standout. He also signed the book for me that we purchased, by his long time friend Howard Bingham. One of the greatest days of my life.

I’m a collector.

I love an on site poster. Also I enjoy a signed photo.

The on-site fight posters gracing my wall at the moment are

SRL- Hearns
Tyson- Spinks
Stracey- Napoles (Signed)
Cotto- Margarito

Frazier-Foreman photo (Signed by George)
Signed Duran photo.
Signed Dogboe photo (I’ve followed his journey from the amateurs)

Got a file full of signed photos.
A couple of gloves.
A few signed shirts.

My collection is my pride and joy. Just behind my children and ahead of my missus.

I’d met them, he just got them framed. Lazy shithouse!

Don’t have much myself. One comedy after dinner photo from Leeds of me in the middle of Joe Calzaghe and Richie Woodhall. They are literally holding me up as I’m blind drunk trying yo tell jokes.

Also got one of me and Lloyd Honeyghan. Same scenario. The ‘Raggamuffin Man’ is wearing some rascal clobber!

Speaking of clobber I do own a Hard n Fast training top that once belonged to Henry Wharton.

I've been friends with George Chuvalo for 35 years, and when we were co-writing his autobiography in 2011-12 ("Chuvalo: A fighter's life") he graciously gifted me a dozen of his fight contracts, including vs. Quarry, Frazier, Bonavena and Mathis. I also have on-site posters for 30 of George's 93 fights (including six of his nine main events at Madison Square Garden) and more than three dozen programs from his bouts. Besides Chuvalo memorabilia, I have an extensive collection of early Ali items, including a stubless ticket, program and press pass for his first bout with Liston and onsite programs for his first two fights with Frazier. My "oldtimers" collection focuses on Luther McCarty and the "White Hope" era (1910-1915) and includes several cabinet photos of McCarty, Tommy Burns, Gunboat Smith, etc.
