I am delighted for one of our forum posters on here!!! - Real Deal (Chris Royle) is amongst a select few that have a ringside pass to take photos of this evenings events - some may say so what - but people dont realise the hundreds of requests for media credentials a promotional company receive for an event like the Heavyweight Championship Of The World - Chris has got his through sheer hard graft spending literally hundreds of pounds of his own money travelling up down the country taking what can only be described as top quality photos!!!
A top man who has got his dues through sheer hard graft!!!
For those interested he is in a light blue t shirt taking pics at ringside!!!

Sitting around watching the fight and then suddenly up pops Chris Royle hustling for space at ringside, snapping away. Stick 'em up so we can see them

Chris' new name is '70 Cent' as that's all he ever had when we had to shell out for a taxi
Was a good weekend - good laughs, some right characters and the right result for British boxing.

I'll have you know that I sorted him out with the closest hotel in Nuremberg to the arena (and more importantly the closest hotel to a Burger King).
I did have to talk him out of driving the whole way and flying instead mind.

Fabulous pictures

I honestly think the second one down of Haye bouncing a right hand off the giant's head is one of the best boxing pictures I've ever seen.

Chris, not just saying this cause your a boxrec member and we've had some dealings in the past - but really I think you are the best boxing photographer out there now.
Do you do any other photography, you have a real talent at it, think you could go full time at it with weddings and stuff.
Well done, and top man.
Oh yeah, and your advice about my facebook seems to be working!!! That will stop the hackers.

The thing is, he's that obsessed he'd get the bride and groom to go head to head in profile and then ask them to 'move about a bit' to the bemusement of their guests.

Yes, and maybe get the best man to comb his hair upwards and stand in the middle and raise the bride and groom's hand.
