    Its really interesting to see "The King of Ireland" "The Real" Darren "Raging Bull" Corbett back in the ring again.

    Not sure if ye Irish based lads get Nuts TV (Sky Channel 208), but they show a programme called "Superfights" and its great - loads of British small hall fights from the 80's and 90's as well as Benn, Eubank and Hattons fight - brilliant stuff.

    So I watched in amazement as they showed a few Darren Corbett fights against Noel Magee and Chris Okoh - it was it fuuckin great entertainment - some character - I wonder if he was disciplined and could shed all the fat what he would have been like - he probably could have got down to middleweight.

    I never saw any of his fights pre Ray Kane but I is amazing to think that he was 250lb against Dennis Bailey!!!

    I cant wait to see what he is like in Dublin - I'll take a camera and get a few photos

    Anyone know where he is training?

    Not sure where he's training although I'd say it's with Paul McCullagh in the city centre gym. He'd been doing a bit of work with Ciaran healy for his last few fights and that is where he 'trains' out of. Although he was also sparring with the Breen gym although I doubt if John Breen would be interested in big Darren now.

    found out elsewhere that he is in Sarced Heart - which he basically runs with his brother and Dad

    The guy could shift tickets like James Brown and U2 and Ricky Hatton all sharing the same bill.

    Pity he couldn't shift his arse!!!

    Would have been a really really good Light-Heavy, cos he had the power and chin at Cruiser, albeit it at British level.

    Probably past his best when he lost to Bruce.
