Which boxer have you seen fight live the most often?

Post by Cholo_cws »

Has there been one particular boxer that you know you've seen box live (-not on tv) more than all others? Are/were you a fan of theirs? part of his travelling army? Or has it just worked out that way?

I'm pretty sure mine must be Tyson Fury (16 times, just counted :o ), though there's probably somebody like a Peter Buckley high on the list that you don't realise.

I have seen Kristian Laight, Carl Allen & a few other journeymen so many times. They fight more than prospects do so seen them more.

Frankie Gavin. I've attended 15 of his 18 pro fights. Mainly because he's from the same town plus I am a friend and fan.

Journeymen.

I've probably been to over 150 shows and I think at least of one of Jason Nesbitt, Kristian Laight, Sid Razak and Carl Allen appeared on all of them. Saw the late Billy Smith quite a lot also.

I forgot to mention the journeymen. The same names spring to mind as per above as well as the late Ernie Smith.

James Hare. God knows how many times. He used to come in the same pub as me occasionally when he visited Skipton. Got to know him and we had a bus full that would go to his fights.

Must have seen Jamie Moore a good few times too.

Greaves, I think, or possibly Buckley.

Other than those two, probably JonJo Irwin, Froch or Hamed, or maybe Rhodes, Eubank, Calzaghe or CAT. They all merge into one after a while.

I think on reflection it's probably Jamie McDonnell.

There was an 18 month period where I saw Johnny Nelson three times in a row.

Watching prizefighter live would mean that you had seen the winner 3 times.

Henry Wharton. Following him was lively, I was in my 20's and he fought a lot here in west Yorkshire. I made the trip to London, when he challenged Benn. Then Naz, saw him live quite a few times.

Chris male and steven pearce ( family and friend) I've saw a lot of sid razzaq matt seawright max maxwell (very good area title fight he lost can't rember the guy he fought was unlucky in brum imo) terry currthers jamie ball. 2 fights stick out tho a mids area title fight between steve saville and baz carey in wolvo wat an atmosphere. Also chris male v josh warrington was a great fight even tho the result wasn't the one we wanted.
