It was on SKY?

He used to be on Eurosport a fair bit, I remember him hammering Dirk Wallyn and having Tiozzo in all sorts of trouble before getting stopped.

John Emmen, who boxed Bruno,

Name the Englishman who fought for the Dutch title in the last 10 years?

Wasn't that John Keeton? Not quite sure how he qualified for that, as he is quite British

Sounds right, I seem to remember it being shown as an added extra on another big show (like between fights)

Wouldn't mind knowing myself - Sheffield has no dykes, clogs, windmills etc.

Rudi Koopmans is one of the greatest Dutch fighters of all time; he held the European light-heavyweight title for several years and challenged for a major world title in the States, losing on cuts.

Food for thought thread.the Dutch are one of Europe's biggest nations and probably the leading nation in terms of k1 kickboxing must thai at an elite level and their football hooligans were the only ones able to give the English a run in the 70s and 80 s also a former empire nation.......mind boggling no one firebombing vastly better paid pro boxing

Tyson Furys mate Albert ''The Hurricane'' Kraus is a dutch gypsy and a pretty good kickboxer ,Peter Fury told me himself that hes done some work with Albert who was toying with the idea of having some pro boxing fights , Peter really rated him ,said it was a waste of talent him kickboxing all these years .

Kraus has had two pro fights (going 2-0). One in September of last year and one this past June. His kickboxing career still seems in full flow though as since last September he's also had five kickboxing bouts.

There was Rudi Lubbers in the 70's, went the distance with Ali and Bugner.

Kraus is a very good kickboxer and he won the inaugural K1 World Max GP tournament, which was arguably the most prestigious kickboxing tournament at his weight. I doubt, however, that his boxing was good enough for him to make more $$$ boxing than kickboxing, and given the former's larger talent pool he probably wouldn't have competed at such a high level (e.g. winning credible world titles, beating world class opponents, etc). You never know though.

I was unaware that he is a gypsy. I'd be interested in seeing a list of gypsy combat athletes who aren't British or Irish.
