the trouble was he needed a manager to orchestrate his next move, because he conducted himself well and you have to have symphony with his plight.

If matched well the re-percussions could have been great and he could become a symbol of all that is wrong with the triangle of sanctioning bodies that shoe horn weaker fighters into mandatory shots. His problems strike a chord and pull a the heart strings of boxing fans who understand that his punching power give him the bass to mount a charge, and if a champion did pluck him as a potential opponent he wouldn't be afraid to blow his own trumpet.

Credit to DavidPayne for most of this.

According to the Mail, Oboh was supposed to be paid £9K - not a huge amount for someone who was a British Champion, but I don't suppose he shifted many tickets.

I'd be interested to hear his story. Wonder if Maloney refunded any of Oakey's fans' ticket money, seeing as he saved 9K?

I was there at wembley that night, haye put away some polish lump (?bonin) in a round, i was up in the stands with my son but im sure it was the bill that caused all the trouble with myself and ben carey and his website (sorry ben, not bringing it up to cause trouble mate, just remember that was the show)
