Should be a good laugh if nowt else. If you're in South Yorkshire, get yourself there...supporting two very worthy charities (hospices).

I hear he's going to have another crack at the Paras' selection course later this year. He's been training for it and has arranged it with the Parachute Regiment selection team at Catterick to let him have another go privately.

Best of luck to him.

We'll be there.
Always good to support a worthy cause.
Johnny sang Kingston Town for donations at a Charity Function a couple of years ago for me, and if that is anything to go by - it's Rhodes by decision on all three judges scorecards !
That said, Rhodes bottled it that night, so maybe Nelson by stoppage ?

Well, given his age and how he did last time, he'll have to improve an incredible amount. Good luck to him though. I mentioned 'The 50 Year Old Commando' in similar circumstances on here recently but if you ever get a chance to see that programme, watch it (it's repeated now and again on ITV4).

Johnny Nelson can fail 'P' coy 27 times in a row.

He has achieved something of far more merit than P coy and thats by earning a living as a
professional fighter - in his case - a world class one.

I wouldn't say it's of "far more merit".... depends how you look at it I guess.

Johnny must be missing boxing in a big, big way.

Is it true he's going to sing the Tina Turner classic; "Steamy Windows".
