    Its no problem I sent some stuff to Manassa back in the day

    I'm an avid collector and its always nice to see some new guys get in on the act

    I'll send the stuff out next week mate, found a few other Olympians I can throw in too, Yafai, DeGale and Brad Sunders if you want them?

    Find the addresses of boxing managers, and boxers, if you can. I used to send hand written letters asking for autographs and in almost every case it worked. One time I sent a letter to Joe Frazier and the guy sent me a large envelope full of stuff. 2x large signed photographs and smaller collector type cards all signed by him. The guy was a legendary nice man as well boxer. You'll find this with a lot of boxers out there.

    I definitely recommend writinga letter yourself to them, if possible. Don't worry if your handwriting is shite.

    The dinner with a sportsman nights are always a hot spot for autographs and photos etc. They also auction off a lot of good stuff, though I'm sure I've seen Ali's robe that he wore in the 'rumble' auctioned off more than once lol
