Claims he’s “the most read Sports writer in Europe” (not the world…… yet)

Anyway I had to laugh at Bob Arum rinsing him recently:





He looks about 60 but seems active in boxing only recently….. what was he doing before?

He recently mentioned on the radio that he was the Telegraph polo correspondent for ten years. As recently as 2017 as far as I can see although it seems he makes no mention of it on his website. There are polo articles by him that go back to at least 2002.

Thanks. Yes he keeps that under wraps. Not good for the street cred lol He just seemed to appear from nowhere and now is everywhere

Monzon83 wrote: ↑26 Sep 2022, 09:06 He knows more about Polo than he does boxing. He jumped on the MMA/Boxing bandwagon and arselicked his way forward.

Can not stand the bloke, he's one of the most spineless journalists out there and a big part of everything that is wrong with Boxing media.

Yes that’s pretty spot on

anyone seen the state of the knt on his website photo? christ on a bike. I'd swear he was actually parodying himself, but I don't thin keh is, at all.....

he's a boxing writer, why does he need a photo section of himself on his website anyway

It’s for the ladies.

but yeah, surely that is self-parody?

i've never seen the like

it's even better than Bunce's Parisian existentialist jazz musician's scarf, that he wears in a particularly deep and interesting way

He at least was at some point as he’s got kids.

Perhaps his gift wasn’t enough for just one sex so he’s widened the nets.

That’s no mere fashion statement, he cleans his biros with it after they’ve been “used”

What’s he wearing?

It is such a confusing outfit. Chef’s trousers. Wallet chain. Edwardian jacket. Long sleeve T-shirt. He’s gone for matching pocket square but the top has a red collar? It makes no sense.

The crystal is a weird touch.

He likes to throw up the deuces. Who does that other than shit rappers and 12 year old girls?

Indoor sunglasses too. Tit

Fûck me I never noticed the crystal. He’s got nonce all over him.

I’d love to read his tinder bio

Fair enough he’s got to shove his tape recorder muff in Gina carano’s tits but there’s something deeply odd about his schtick


Crystals usually mean “I’m not religious but I’m spiritual” which actually means I don’t have a clue but I feel the need to say something to make myself stand out but don’t have the courage to say I do or don't believe but believe in something.

Probably plays magic the gathering

100% wears custom jewellery

Probably has “coffee snob” as one of his interests

Don’t like him, patronising ****

A try hard, you should have tried harder
Me, oh me, oh my, Roy
You look like a walking thyroid
You're not a man, you're a gland

I always assumed the glasses when I’ve seen him on comms were to hide his wobbly Kalle-like eyes

Me too, Kate Moss did the same thing too

The earing...why has nobody mentioned the earing?

He dresses like a posh kid trying not to be a posh kid. It's genuinely such a weird mix of stuff.

If he was a band he'd be The Dandy Warhols. Fcking crap, trying really really hard to be someone with actual talent like The Brian Jonestown Massacre and failing dismally yet getting the oxygen of publicity.

It's an amazing photo. Each time you look at it, another previously unnoticed piece that screams 'I'm a massive twat!' appears.
It's like a Britain's got Talent magician whose hero is Tony Stark.

i like gareth, but can see why people don't. I think hes one of the few who actually champions combat sports. He also gets good interviews out of fighters rather than the usual media trained responses.

Multilayered twat, like a badly packed kebab.

"It's a very intimate thing in a way"

I bet he’s got a life-size painting of that very photo in his office. Ghostbusters 2 style.
