One for Eric Armit I guess.....

Does anyone know if the Traditional Belgium Christmas Day card go ahead. Always something I've bizarrely wanted to attend. Its down on the schedule - no results yet.

Anyone know more about this tradition - when did it start? Is it a big event in Belgium (well the boxing fraternity) is it Televised?

I think it goes back to pre-world war 2. I was thinking about the Christmas Day boxing bonanza in Belguim.

Tony Booth has fought on it.He tells the story in his book about eating all Brendan Ingles meat and drinking his wine beforehand as Brendan is veggie and does not drink!
