    Bumping this

    Very unusual/unlikely one is Ireland's JP Campbell's (South Meath, St Patrick;s BC) win over Andre Dirrell back in 2001 Ire v USA match in the National Stadium.....at FW I believe....Campbell was 20 at the time vs a 17 year old Dirrell.

    Deontay Wilder used to drive a truck for a beer company.

    Got a biography about him on Amazon. Unique character.

    The owner of the best boxing bar Jimmy's Corner died last thursday morning from covid. Not really sure where to put this but I was saddened by this news as he was a gentleman who always had time for a chat over the years. Last time we spoke in December he was effusive in his praise for Joe Ward who is managed by his son Adam. Great memories of him and his dealings with his fans and it wont be the same without his presence. Here's hoping Adam will keep this institution going. RIP
