Halifax/Huddersfield has had better shows than Leeds/Bradford for the last few years. Leeds is terrible considering its size. The odd Bateson show at Elland Road and thats about it. I'm from York.

Nottingham

Am working on the new Leeds arena at present and i was having the same conversation with a scaffolder! He was bemoaning the lack of shows in Leeds/Bradford. I had to go back to when i was boxing and they had shows at the irish centre and Celebanski did dinners shows at Bradford but nowt major in Leeds since Henry boxed Fidel Smith. Hopefully with the large amount of major amateur talent coming from Leeds at present can see it being a Hot bed, especially with the aforementioned arena set to be completed nxt year

Yes, the arena will help and, as you say, there are some brilliant young amateurs coming through. Jack Bateson is already number five in the world and looks like a tip for gold in Rio. Carl Johannesson beating up Ricky Burns at Leeds Town Hall live on SKY was probably the last biggish night. Did you box pro at the Irish centre? I used to go to most shows there watching Jamie Warters.
