hi everyone hope u r well

You could try writing to some of the promoters, asking? Or even some of the boxers. Don't ask, don't get.

I did that ages ago with Hyland and got sent signed photos of Dunne & Neary. I only sort of mentioned in passing I liked watching Neary and I got them in the post with tickets.

if you want some authentic legends try allstarssigings

got lennox, gatti ward duel signed, frazier, lamotta, hatton posters all signed ranging from around 50 quid to 150.

try writing to the gyms

depending where you live might be good idea to visit the nearby gyms, depends if you want big big stars or just boxers in general - get some fight posters maybe and get them signed, that would look choice.

if youve got facebook mate add some of the lads on there alot of em are on their and there always willing to send things out

Best thing to do is get yourself down the gyms or failing that to shows. Even when they are not fighting themselves a lot of boxers attend shows to cheer on their gym mates etc.

The boxers will be added soon.There is usually one really big name,too.

It's gonna be Leonard.

He was there a couple of years ago at the November one.Still,i missed that one so i will be there with my Hagler,Duran and Hearns programmes.It will pay for itself in the long run.They will add a few more lower key names as well.

I just need Hagler. But he rarely comes out of Italy nowadays.

Me too,i would have some excellent dual signed on-site stuff if he comes.I think he does do the odd dinner over here.He will end up signing one day,they all do,even Tyson did one in London last year,£100 a pop though.

Dunno. I know for a fact he was offered a free cruise and turned it down. Got the same when I approached his GF. maybe when/if times become hard.

Just done a quick google and he is over here in April for dinner shows.He is actually in Birmingham about a fortnight after the N.E.C show!Never been to these dinners so dont know what the deal would be with them signing stuff,i know with Tyson you have got no chance.

With a bit of ‘googling’ and using general ‘fanmail’ websites you can get postal contact address for a huge number of boxers – some are their gym addresses, some their home addresses, some are their agent’s addresses. A nicely worded letter and enclosing a photograph for signing usually does the trick. Talking of Hagler you can get his address through his agents in Boston. You might have to wait but you’ll get a signed photo back eventually.

Hagler has lads of signed stuff for sale on his website.Im more concerned with posters and programmes,some already signed by one boxer.I wouldnt trust posting them halfway round the world.

Just rung the guy whose organising it. Apparently two dinners, April 7 in Chigwell in Essex and Apr 8 at Aston Villa Football Club.

He was driving so didn't get into the details of and if we can get anything over and above signed.

He's apparently ringing me back.

You can get signed portrait photos of Hagler from the website but I collect signed action photos which he doesn't sign for some reason. Been looking for years.

Dirk, Villa might be best for us.

Sounds good to me. Keep me updated

The Calzaghe's(Enzo too!) and Hector Camacho have been added to the line up.I wont be going if thet dont add a bigger name.I have met Joe before and i dont think Camacho is worth the effort to be honest.
