    And the 'celebrities' were not up to much either:

    Cool.

    Craig Fairbrass?!?

    I'd guess he'd just done 'Cliffhanger' and was relatively big at the time.

    Thanks thats brilliant. Say what you want about Don King but he has been the Master of Boxing PR "pugilistic entertainment"

    He's a pretty big name really, what with beig on Eastenders n that but Cliffhanger would have definitely been big around then, and he would have been well known from Londons Burning.

    Love how Bernard Manning foreshadows what happened with Julius Francis about ten years later.

    lol still a very cool piece of memorabilia.

    I kept some of the newspapers from the day after big fights if they have a big report in them and lots of coverage

    Is that with Eubank bobbing and weaving under Maximo Pierret's right hook before unleashing a three-punch hook combo, in the Man Utd home dressing room with earphones in and a hoody?
