Fair play to anyone involved in the pro game, and thank you for your service I know it’s easy to take the piss, but boxing must be one of the hardest games to make a living out of. The sport literally couldn’t run without people voluntarily putting their blood, sweat & tears into it

[TheLeprechaun]

Push yourself to get out if you can Spuddy. I'm sure they show you some love.

I'd be reminding you of all the forums you fk'd up myself though

[Evander]

Why did you pick those pictures
What's your interest behind each one

[veriton]

Thank you Spud. You've been tearing up these forums for years and I wish you well.

[The Law]

Good luck with the future Spud. Keep posting on here if you can

How did you first get involved in boxing Spud?

By accident.

Julius Francis was training at the Army Boxing Gym
Which was 5 minutes walk from my house. My pa Rhino who posts on here came with me to watch julius train for his fight with Mike Tyson.

We went that often Kellie Maloney (then
Frank) asked us if we wanted to be part of team...

It snow balled from there ....

I have worked on shows in

Russia x2
Monte Carlo x2
Germany x2
Las Vegas x3
Saudi Arabia x1
Latvia x2

I honestly don't mean to be arrogant but good honest hard graft has meant promoters have used me.

And Spud 2 (my son) has grabbed the reigns ...

Oh wow, that’s great Spud. So you didn’t have any boxing background at all? I assume they paid you or covered your expenses! What a great experience to have.

Who was the guy you liked working with the most?

[Spud MK2]

My favorite is very clear ... we still speak now ... clinton woods.

The craziest was Alexandr Usyk. I will alwaus remember the ringwallk against Gassiev in russia

[REAL_DEAL]

Big up Spud. Love taking photos at shows. Here is a few of my favourites, covid and production and video killed me off i think. think it would take a lottery win for me to come back.

Terry Oconnor gives Tyson Fury the verdict over John Mcdermott. Maloney wasnt very happy



Shakan Pitters getting punched up close



Barry Hearn with Lee Purdy



Tyson Fury arm wrestling someone in a New York bar after beating Steve Cunningham (which is exactly 13 years to the day)

Clinton Woods, like Hatton, is one of those boxers I’ve never heard anyone say a bad word about

[TheLeprechaun]

I remember Clinton was being interviewed before the Roy Jones fight. I think it was on BBC when he was a pundit for another fight. The interviewer asks how preparations are going and if he has watched much of Jones fights in order to prepare. Clinton said he doesn't watch Jones fights because it would make him start to get too nervous to get in and fight him.

It was a rare honest moment from a fighter.
