Be fair, he was only arrested 21 times for violence.
Hahahahaha
And Driffield isn't a very big place at all. He must have hit every bloke there.
Army base near there or there was - RCT were there - probably laid a few of them out... :-?

My mate's mam and dad were relief pub managers who ended up there for a couple of months. I went through a few times. Its amazing the aggression in small towns. I've never had any grief in London, Birmingham, Manchester

Absolutely loved the image of Curtis Woodhouse, prematurely retired Premiership footballer in his mid-20s, waiting around at the gym for school to be over so a bunch of mid-teens could get the bus over and beat him up in sparring :lol:

Yep, the Woodhouse interview was very good.

Pretty much stuck to the boxing and Tris & Curtis gelled really well.

This one would probably be in my top ten Boxing Life Stories :TU:

Listened to the Glyn Rhodes one last night and it was an uncomfortable but essential listen, as he spoke in detail about Scott Westgarth's death and the aftermath. Heart-breaking to hear, but I'd argue any fan should listen to it as it really brought home the reality of the toll that the sport we love can take.

I'm no fan of podcasts, but I have to say, The George Groves Interview Tris Dixon did was one of the best interviews i've seen.

Looking forward to kelly pavlik, should be great.

Curtis woodhouse was superb. Did he really only get £2500 for beating hamilton for the british title? I aint wet behind the ears but that seems low. Curtis had a bit of a name, fornicate me thats peanuts mind.

That £2.5k might need fact checking and maybe that is £2.5k net. Still very, very poor for a 12 round contest.
