Can’t find the proper fight so tuned in to 60 seconds of this. Jesus Christ man, it’s over for us. I’m genuinely gutted watching this

If Putin watching this and launches a nuke, i wouldn't blame him

I agree. This is just going to get bigger.

So you guys worried that the hardcores are gonna change it for this?

It’s been said before but imagine if Jake Paul said he was starting left wing for Villa next week.


Listening to the post interviews now “that was the most exciting thing I’ve seen in years”

I know 12 year olds who would stop all 4 of them in a round

Nah man, I’m worried how the public’s perception of pro boxing will change

EBF, MBC, BIBA, Misfits etc, he makes this 'living' from the pantomime, freak show aspect of the sport.

And his gym. He's had lads go pro, too.

Don't know that much about the bloke, never met him, only saw him box once (against Darren Rhodes at Leeds Town Hall) but a couple years back I watched the horrible spectacle of Danny Williams vs Lee McCallister (for the WBU Heavyweight title no less) and Murtagh was the ref, and when I looked into him it seems he's involved in every 'fringe' organisation going (I think he's even made a few of his own up)

I know him a bit. I was at the Rhodes fight, it was in Huddersfield, both were from the same amateur gym and had known each other since little kids, it was more of a spar. Not so friendly though as Lee had fallen out with the coach of the club....
He is certainly very active in the unlicensed game and will provide the full service for a fee, ring, judges, opponents, etc.
Crawford Ashley is down at his gym a lot and Crawfords son Theo is on most of Lee's Leeds shows. He is very anti BBBC and pro Irish.

I saw a pic on Instagram recently of Perry Howe with 'Theo Crawford' after a sparring session, never realised it was Gary's son (I feel so old)

Yes, he’s not been at it long and in Lee’s unlicensed gym all that time. As you will know, Gary is anti establishment too and not a big fan of his old Burmantofts Club.

A lot of people had issues with Burmantofts for some reason.

Surprised someone like IJL hasnt tried to be a weferee for this

He is. Lee gets a full time living from the sport, not many can say that.

Any income from boxing?

The Mayweather debacle last Saturday (highlight was the Lovejoy collapse) Paul vs Fury the night after, now this shambles.

Yet a decent bill in Newcastle featuring two 'world title' eliminators is largely ignored and it looks like Usyk vs Fury is off because Fury wants to face an MMA bloke in another novelty event.

The sport is in its death throes chaps.

Yes. A gym. I think you’d agree Lee and Crawford know boxing?

I just wonder what the rules are or I guess now were for this thing.

Awful tag team if there was a rule should change should be only one tag a round.
