Also liked Dillian Whyte. Was talking to him when my phone rang, I answered it and just said, "Rich I can't talk right now, I am with Dillian Whyte" and he took my phone and said, "Yeah Richard, he is with me, he will phone you later". Great moment.
Met Dillian at York hall and thought he'd be a bit of a knob but was a really nice bloke

It's funny how a moment in someone's time can make a lasting impression on the perception of a fan. Maybe I caught him on a bad day? :maybe:

He had just weighed in earlier for his fight with big Ola - but I was glad when he got knocked out the very next night.

I'd like to think it was Karma.... :lol:

I've met Frank a few times and didn't think he was genuine at all, but I think he's still ill.

David Tua.
Lovely guy, and much beloved.
He was on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune many years ago..
"David, what would you like?"
"Can I have 'O' for awesome please!"

He was so beloved, that a week later people all over the county were wearing
"O" FOR OWESOME!
T-shirts.
We met him earlier this year, my wife's a fan ( not in an AJ way thankfully) and he was so nice, despite being quite intimidating even now.
