I hope it's OK to post this plug for http://www.britishboxers.co.uk. The site has had a bit of a reshuffle. Chris Maylett still owns and runs it, I've joined as Chief Editor and John Evans is with us too. There will be more content, columns from myself, John, Dewi Powell, Tony Bellew, Dave Coldwell, Peter Fury and possibly a few more people within the trade. Steve Lillis will send over the odd bit and I'm trying to persuade Ian Mac to dip his toes in again. John Murray and a few others will contribute blogs.

We'll throw up pressers, but will also run a news round up of local media coverage to keep people up-to-date with fighters who don't have a PR machine behind them.

Any ideas welcome.

Cheers,

Terry

[Stuffs]

Good news.

It's always a site I've enjoyed reading, as it focuses a lot on the Manchester scene, which is of most appeal to me.

Just keep up the good work. I see a lot more written content now which is great, as I had felt it was becoming a bit to video-heavy.

That's a great team of writers/contributors Terry. I'm sure it will be a success

[Loynesy]

Agreed. Be fantastic to have Ian back in the game. He's a great writer.

[Sklar]

Hope it goes well.

I would apply Terry, being from down Sarf but my writing probably isn't up to scratch.

[jimb0d]

I get worrying pop-ups on the site but I like the content. Had them on both PC and android phone. Can you have a look at some of the advertising?

[PredatorHayds]

I'm down South Wales. Love to give boxing writing a go.
The closest I've got is a few letters in boxing news. Had a PPV rant in it this week.

[Dixonian]

Looks like a good site. What happened to Boxing Bugle?

[Terry Dooley]

I'll look at the ads issue and pass the feedback to Chris. Lefty, we all started somewhere Anyone who fancies it can PM me or click the Write for us link on the site, just let us know you are a 'Reccer.

Would love to give this a go if I wasn't already Manchester-based where you've plenty of people already waayyyyyy more qualified.

I don't get any of the pop-ups mind.

Go for it. I'd happily ease back on Manc stuff and get you in touch with various people.

[PredatorHayds]

Had one of these published yesterday. Loved it.

I've got the knowledge and passion just need to improve my grammar.

[arlovski]

site looks great.
Always fancied writing a bit but really not sure on what aspect or part of the sport - fight predictions, recaps, interviews, show reports?

Is there anything in particular you're after in terms of articles?
