Ball boy was always a favourite. His team were seriously dung but always came agood.
You had the odd celebrity appearance back in the day mainly in the annual. I suppose they use them now to pander to the youngsters.

I was at that fight, I thought Eastman deserved it.
I don't really remember either way. It was the same night as Hatton vs Floyd, so was just watching some early boxing before the main event. I have a feeling there was some other boxing on Sky Sports earlier in the evening too, but I can't remember what it was. I may have made that up.

I liked the idea it was somewhat antiquated. Teachers went round wearing mortar bards. And they hit kids with the cane, which would've been illegal when I was reading it. The fact that Dennis had a catapult and pea shooters, which were somewhat old fashioned as children's toys.

Eastman is fighting this coming Wednesday. He's fighting a gentleman named Tsetsi Davis (who has an 11-3) in Kingston, Jamaica. Fight is at welterweight, and it is the semi-final of the Jamaican version of
The Contender.
Contender semi finals go downtown Kingston

Something else I noticed when checking his record, this year marked Eastman's twentieth as a professional. His pro début having taken place on March 6, 1994.
