21st November - A Tribute To Emanuel Steward - allegedly - 6:30pm

20th November - Ringside Mike Tyson Special - Challenge TV - 0:00am

22nd November - Ricky Hatton The Comeback - Channel 5 - 0:45am

22nd November - Freddie Flintoff From Lords To The Ring Part 1 of 3 - SKY 1 - 9:00pm

The first 2 allegedly documentaries are free to air for SKY customers. The e-mail I received from allegedly suggests the Emanuel Steward tribute will also be free to Virgin customers.

It was also a nice surprise to see SKY put an episode of Ringside on Challenge TV!

Not being an expert on cricket, why did the lad retire from it?
Was he injured or was it like Gavin Hensen he thought he was bigger than the sport?

He never said that did he? He's well aware it's going to be the hardest thing he's ever done.

Because NZ produce diddly squat when it comes to the squared circle. We have a much richer tradition ad we produce a shed load of talented fighters who deserve the spotlight far more than an ex-cricketer.

Unfortunately, boxing really isn't always about talent. It's ticket sales & viewing figures. Alls I'm saying is he's put the work in & passed his tests.hes doing a hell of a lot of his training at the peacock.its a good gym but not the state of the art boxing facility wots his name is talking about.hes a name they that will attract interest.thats boxing.

Once again you make complete sense in your post. There are scandals in the sport, dodgy decisions, non-payment to fighters, performance enhancing drugs etc but a cricketer having a bash in the same way I would in his position must be pretty far down the list, even if he is a shitehawk.

Got to agree with both of you. This is not going to be the worst thing that ever happens to boxing.

Bigger than Frank Bruno? Henry Cooper? Nowhere near!

It's tricky compiling a p4p national treasure top 10 as obviously they are all loved or would not be there but, yes, I would have him above those two. The nation ground to a halt in 2005 for that Ashes win.

I didn't but then I was in Wales, I could probably say that they didn't care in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Was the ashes win the biggest event in sporting history? I couldn't say it was and even if it were - it was a team effort and not just Flintoff. I have nothing against his partaking next week but let's be honest, he struggled with a pedalo - I am expecting Dawson to take him places where the pedalo didn't.

Everyone (or nearly everyone) loved Bruno in the 1980's and everyone knew who he was - Flintoff - I don't like him personally so I am probably biased against him, that drunken fool act is old. So 1995.
