What's up guys, Please excuse my ignorance but I have some questions that I am hoping you can help me with. First off, I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. Recently I have been watching My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and I have been fascinated by life of the Irish travelers. The questions that I have are; -Are there any Irish travelers that train regularly in a boxing gym? -Have any of you trained with them? Are any of them talented enough to make it on a global level? -How do boxers feel about them going the bareknuckle rout? -How do non-gypsies feel about them in the UK? Thanks in advance. Your input is appreciated.
Global level - Tyson Fury, Andy Lee? UK level - Michael Gomez, Billy Joe Saunders, John O'Donnell, Gary Buckland? (the 'tash suggests he is)
World class ams who Will box at Olympics are joe ward, jj nevin and david oliver joyce .boxing is there no 1 sport .p s buckland is a romany not Irish .
Message Primadonna Kool,he knows quite a lot about travellers ,in fact rumour has it he was in the documentry mate! :good
Ye but in my experience most don't stick at it, like non-travelers I guess Nah I haven't myself Tyson fury, Billy Joe saunders and possibly joe ward in the future I have no opinion on it, if they want to that's up to them, the standard seems **** poor mind People love gypsies, absolutely love them :deal
People love gypsies??? Come try and live near rathkeale and see then. Sorry sarcasm might have went over my head
Can we just call them gypsies? Travellers are people that go backpacking, or (I think) basketball players who start running with the ball like it's gridiron
Well here in Ireland no one calls em gypsies. Travellers or if you wanna be politically correct itinerants is another word for em. I could think of a few more things than that to call em though..
Would you use an insulting term if ward wins gold ? There not all bad although a lot are . If blacks were abused like travellers are on this site you would be banned for life.
I know they're not all bad I've just had a few bad experiences with some of em. I'll be cheering on ward or any guy who's representing my country whatever background or colour he might be I'm not that bad
Phill Fury is a great up and comer that's worth keeping an eye on. Sparred with Mayweather during the build up to the Ortiz fight.
Im not saying you mate just a few times ive seen people say they should all be exterminated etc etc disgusting **** .
