SOLD MY TAPE LIBRARY

Great news today, after a few tetchy months of wheeling and dealing, and trying to get the rights to many shows that I have filmed by promoters (asking their permission), I have finally done a deal with a major TV company to buy the exclusive rights to my fight library.
This deal includes
All my amateur show footage that I have filmed from 1990
All my pro shows that I have filmed since 1987
This means that people will be able to see NON TV such fights as
Lennox Lewis v Steve Garber, Naseem Hamed winning NABCs, Amir Khans titles as an amateur, Joe Calzaghe v Spencer Alton, 11 of Ricky Hattons amateur wins, David Haye from a 12 yr old, Johnny Nelson exhibition with Herbie Hide, Michael Watson exhibition a month after Benn fight, Chris Eubanks fight in Liverpool, Gary Masons fights in Southend, and all the currant champions from their Amateur days,
This means I get to pay my house off, and get better camera equipment!!!
The first programme will be on your satellite screen next month, and they are gonna start off with a Lennox Lewis special, featuring Lennoxs 1st interview in Franks pub, His 1st press conf in London at the Brewery for the British press, Lennox in training with John Davenport as his trainer and Harold Knights 1st vist to London, some sparring, with Trever Currie, Knute Blin, John Westgarth, Mick Cordan, David Jules, and an exclusive... a 3 min clip of Lennox sparring with Tyson that he gave me in 1989!!!
I still keep my tapes, but they have just copied what they need so far.
Adverts should be out soon..

Here's a challenge for you Eric, see if you can make a post which has no reference to yourself or any pro boxer you have carried a jockstrap for.
BTW look forward to seeing the footage, recording it and selling it on
