the only time joe boxed at brentwood was when he beat my brother mark in a british title defence (the fight was top of the bill) you might be on about the festival hall in basildon as he boxed there twice and georgie smith would of topped there mate

Georgie Smith was a very good puncher coming up; didn't he KO Paul Ryan in the amateurs? Georgie looked like butter wouldn't melt but he could fight.

Glad to hear Georgie is ok, his a lovely bloke but I feared he might get involved with the wrong sort of people after his boxing career, I boxed with him for a short period of time at canvey abc, he was just turning pro after I done one season, I sparred with his brother David a few times, I was about 10kg bigger but he was class, canvey at that time won best Essex club for something like 10 years in a row durning the 90's !

I'm from Rainham, only down the road. Pretty much any time theres a show on at Brentwood, I go to it. Don't get enough put on round here not to, really.

As far as unlicensed goes I used to go watch my uncle fight down the Tavern, and my mate has had 3 fights down there so I've been to them, but I'll watch proper boxing no matters whos fighting... i dont bother with unlicensed if its not a mate, and i couldnt give a fcuk for cage fighting. my old man doesnt mind it but its not for me.

i know what you mean mate i boxed at the tavern a couple of times and it aint for me i'd rather go and see a pro show any day of the week, i found that on the unlicenced shows everyone thought they were gangsters

I saw some snooker at the Brentwood Centre once.
