I can remember Naz referred to Billy Hardy as Billy Hardly
Don King (I think)described Frank Maloney as the pugilistic pygmy
Lennox called Riddick Bowe ....Ridiculous Bowe

Rhino named our good pal Mark Potter .. mark “hot dog” potter because we caught him stuffing his face at York Hall with hot dogs.
Rhino made him wear a t shirt with a hot dog on it to one of his fights

It's really childish and didn't require any intelligence but Amir Khan calling Kell Brook, Kelly Brook always tickled me.
Still not a patch on Tyson Furys names for David Price & Tony Bellew from that amazingly funny channel 5 interview.

Yes mate, he gave us about 45 minutes of his time, he has us captivated but we did manage to wind him up a bit.

That was a classic Tyson Fury clip. questioning Prices plumbing skills the insinuating that Bellew and Price were perhaps cleaning out each others back passages....

Didn't mind Hearn calling Shelly Finkel 'Shirley Winkle' extremely childish and not a way to negotiate a fight, as was proven, still amusing all the same.

I laughed after either the Martin or Brezeale fight, AJ called Finkle ‘Shirley’ very clearly when being asked about Wilder.

yeah they lasted two shows with Eurosport before the Kinahan stuff came out, think they soldiered on until late 2022, recall seeing Jazza Dickens vs Lerato Dlamini on a Probellum stream, after that everyone lost their jobs and Sam Jones deleted all trace of his involvement with any of it, but we know.

Dillian Whyte has a knack for finding out the ‘real’ first names of other boxers. Femi & Luke.
