Andy Flute interview

Post by Loftgroov »



Worth a listen. Some good tales about his time in the ring and sparring with the likes of Reid, Eubank and Benn. Mainly focuses on the horrors of his alcohol addiction.

Thanks, that was good. I remember him as a decent domestic-level fighter but I didn’t really know anything about him. You can hear the passion in his voice when he talks about asking God for help, it’s powerful.

Eubank was merciless in sparring, if they weren't up to the job he'd punch them out of the ring or break their ribs with body shots. Or both.

Not after he sparred Herol Graham. He climbed out of the ring and said, "I'll never fight you."

He meant it and all. Herol was the domestic elephant in the room back then.

Even now he makes no bones about that he quite candidly tells the story

I can’t watch that James English. It’s a shame as he has some interesting guests.

He just seems slimy, like a wrong un. I got one of his interviews sent to me was with Paul Ferris and he tried to make out they were similar people right at the start was cringe as fornicate.

Agreed a podcast for arse licking hard men.

He was crying about Frankie Boyle blocking him before he’d ever messaged him. Frankie obviously pre empted him asking him to be on his show.

Aye, I find his use of the word ‘brother’ strange.

None of them would in the 80s. Hagler, whoever.

I'm talking about normal sparring partners, not the uniquely incredible Herol Graham.

One of very very few who could stand toe to toe with Eubank was former opponent Simon Collins from the valleys.
