BoxRec

Anybody read it? I just started reading and it's pretty standard stuff. A solid throw-away Boxing biog.

Any thoughts?

Keep us updated. I may purchase it from you if you don't want it afterwards.

I would happily give it to you only i borrowed it from a guy in work

No worries. Has it got any better? Just interested in what his book contains after that BBC documentary that started with them coming back from an alleged kidnapping.

I remember thinking his interview post-Audley was curious - he was talking loads about God and then in the next sentence about wanting a ruck in the pub. Odd.

Reading on the cover that it is about a '2 weight world champion' told me all I needed to know about the content. I have since had to revise my list of 'Top 10 World Heavyweight Champions'...

Of course Teddy is right about the content but it's interesting in a throaway read sort of way. He is just revelling in the fact that he was WBU super-cruiserweight champion

The whole book takes me back. Does anybody have a copy of the Negus-Audley bout on BBC? Or even Negus's earlier fights as he claims the Chris Henry bout (plus another one which I forget) was televised on Eurosport. I would like to see these after reading the book. Anybody own the above?

I'm sure the Henry one was on the telly, i'm sure I watched it

Aye he says it was Marc and had a tragic ending too (shortly before Spencer Oliver collapsed post-fight). I'm interested to see a couple of Negus bouts now after reading this book.

Good show old boy

Yeah, I remember his interview with.. Mike Costello? post Audley, funny stuff.

Negus: I love it in there, I want to do it again, better than sex for me, lasts longer. I'm off to the pub now and maybe start a fight there!

Mike: You could try that headbutt again.

Really? I only have him 13th!

Nice bloke, Dominic. He used to box with my uncle at the Circus Tavern, seen him down Goresbrook and on the Telly doing security and that.

His fights against Harrison, Henry and Bruce Scott were on TV.

Is it right that Negus also fought non licenced fights?

Yeah, down the circus tavern in purfleet.

as far as i remember he fought karl barwise down there, and kevin mitchell

He was on TV last week. Danny Dyer does a programme called "Britains Deadliest Men" lol and this week it was about Negus.

It should be repeated this Sunday on Bravo at 10 oclock i think.

Negus looked a bit handy, but "deadliest" give me a break, I see harder looking guys in any pub in the southside of glasgow ffs, he aint no big shakes.

'I'm on my way over to Deptford to meet this right tasty geezer, you wouldn't want to be mugging this fella off, he's got a right naughty dig...' etc...... :P

yea he's had 20 fights now he's fighting at the circus tavern next feb time

Sure i see him beaten on points by Karl Barwise on a TV documentry, think his father he recently passed away close to the fight, was an interesting Documentry.

Barwise is a tough old buggar, who always lived the life and mixed in real good company as a pro

I enjoyed the doc. Esp. when he was giving the guy a beating who ripped off his Dad who had just died. Didn't the guy say something like 'Your Dad gave me the money' and Dom replied 'He never fuckin gave me anything throughout my life so why the fornicate would he give you his cash, you robbed an old man' followed by a few slaps.
