I think they split after the Tarver disaster

No, I think Wazza outbid him, hence the jibe. I was there. Bolton, Khan on the under card, Johnson 3. Clinton won.

I had a wobble during the pandemic but I can’t wait to get back to the live shows.

Have to shout out Maggie T and Boxing Prospect, hardcore as anyone I’ve ever spoke to and very current.

thanks mate -- you too

broadening my interest to boxing from all around the world, and at pretty much any level, has been big for me keeping interest.

i reccomend to anyone wanting to try it.......go search up some prospects you've never heard of, from anywhere, and start following them. boom....there is some added interest there.

Was that when they got Calzaghe on the phone afterwards and tried to talk up a fight with Joe and Clinton? Pretty sure Dennis told Joe and Frank to do one and they just ignored him.

A shame. Would have been an excellent fight and probably Joes third best win fourth at the outside

From memory this was pre Lacy and clearly they’d struggled to get Joe a big fight. Would have been a good one but if Joe took the fight at light heavy then we may not have seen the Lacy or Kessler fights.

That was Wazza’s show then?

Just turned 28 myself but the British scene has been annoying me for a few years. Used to think moaning about how it’s changed with Matchroom made me sound a bit pretentious, as if I was trying to be a hardcore, but it’s fully vindicated. The amount of idiots attached with them and Sky put me off - Bellew, Nelson, Coldwell etc. Everyone is just trying to be famous and on camera. I watched a few videos from the ‘bubble’ this morning and in 3 of them Stefy Bull came and gatecrashed and got his face all over the camera. Every time I go on YouTube to see what’s happening on the scene it’s just the likes of ‘Sam Jones honest reaction’. Who gives a toss what a salesman who’s fell into boxing because it got turned mainstream thinks.

Been out to America to watch boxing and will be doing again once restrictions allow. Prefer anything but British boxing at the minute.

Christ I’m a miserable fcker.

Good post, were the same age. I think the UK scene is bad now, too.

I like a good boxing trip more than a footy away. Been many good countries

But now and then you see a belter fight don’t you and you get all excited and fall back in love. I’m really excited for a few fights and the Olympics.

Used to do footy every week home and away alongside boxing trips a few years back until I got a missus and house...was always gonna pick boxing if it came to one or the other. Annoys the hell out of me but like you say every so often a fight comes along that reminds me why I love the sport.
