He did a few IFL interviews whilst in the bubble, one saying Booth only lasted one day sparring Calzaghe. Booth hit back on Fb....They boxed a draw in Leeds years ago, and Manners is from Leeds.... they don’t get along. Tony did five days down there but on the last day Enzo phoned him to say Joe had a cold so he got the train home. He was gutted as he never got his days wages and wrote the story in his book. Joe paid him when Tony had a dinner show in Hull years later.

Any idea where I can get a copy of his book, Mick?

It’s sold out. He’s doing a reprint or an updated one adding all his prison days and promotions.

Yes. He’s not your average journeyman. He had more wins as well than any active British boxer at the time, too. His documentary he did on Setanta is on YouTube, he’s a crazy man.

I like this clip of Booths

Anyone on this forum who’ve been in jail ? If so how common is that in UK prisons ?

I cannot remember the circumstances of the fight but I remember Harry Mullan going on about it, although Harry went on about a lot of things. I will have to dig out the issue.
