Wow. Henry looks in great shape. One of my favourite fighters.MasterG wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 15:38 Just a bid of incidental chat. My daughter and Mrs have gone to the amateur show in Whitby tonight. I told my daughter to keep an eye out for Henry Wharton and mention me to him. Luckily he remembered me and is going to send me a souvenir in the post.
I won't go to local amateurs as I do not like local families shouting 'kbock the effers head off' and booing away young lads. I think it's a terrible way to treat young kids by booing them
Lovely picture, thanks for sharing. I met Henry when I was a little boy as a family member knew him (travellers). He was really nice to everyone, never forgot thatMasterG wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 15:38 Just a bid of incidental chat. My daughter and Mrs have gone to the amateur show in Whitby tonight.

I bumped into Henry a few years ago in town. Had a really good chat with him. I have to say though, for atmosphere his fight with Eubank was the most electrifying fight I've seen live.SeanBrennan wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 15:42Lovely picture, thanks for sharing.

Just spoken to heavyweight who was offered this fight with Allen 1 weeks notice for 3 grandTHEBUTCH wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 15:24 Really, MasterG ? I'd be surprised if he got £5k for a 4 rounder against a guy with a long losing record.
Allen kept busy during the 4 rounds and at least didn't sleepwalk his way through it.
Forget Dave's talk of having much boxing ability....it's levels. When he steps up against a winner, the result will always be the same.
really interesting thanks for sharing, I never have a clue what people get paid for fights.MasterG wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 15:52Just spoken to heavyweight who was offered this fight with Allen 1 weeks notice for 3 grandTHEBUTCH wrote: ↑06 Apr 2024, 15:24 Really, MasterG ?

I doubt Allen gets paid for fights like this.
