If you could headline a fight in any venue in the world where would be your dream venue. For me it would have to be Madison Square Garden with all the history and great fights that have taken place there it would top my list. Plus I'd like my name to be up in lights in Times Square

Vegas - and I did!! - sort of!!!

Did 3 rounds with Dennis Hobson in The Top Rank Gym with Ricky Hatton and the team plus media watching.

I remember Floyd Mayweathers Dad telling me there was no hope for me - I was that bad!!

Such a great place Vegas ... it was a dream to work on 2 shows there ... can fully understand why fighters want to go there.

how about wimbledon centre court with the roof closed

It would be the best venue in the UK to have a top class fight in but it will probably never happen

being irish id say Croke Park.

But from a pure boxing stand point, One of the big Casinos in Vegas would have to be top of the wishlist.

I was lucky enough to attend a UFC event at the Mandalay Bay a few years ago and i have to say the atmosphere was electric.

I always loved the big outdoor events at Caesers Palace, but i dont think there's been one since Holyfield vs Bowe, the one with the fan man. Fighting there and bringing that legendary arena back to life would be something epic wouldnt it.
