As know over the years a lot of shows have lost a lot of money but onwards and upwards northeast

Was Rob Ismay originally meant to be on this bill? I know he is on the Wraith 18th May card, but could have sworn i heard he was on here too? Aye, looks a cracking card. Top 2 fights look very good.

I've moved from Liverpool to Newcastle and from what I've found, there isn't anywhere near as many boxing gyms.

Oh and well done Phil on the good work.

Massive drinking culture and not a lot of gyms. The nearest one to me (thats if its still there) is even under a pub.
