    Hello,

    Did anyone hear Gavin Rees get a mention on Coronation Street the other night? I wonder if it was a little product placement to get his name known and exposure raised before the fight with Adrien Broner or is someone in the studio a fan of his? :D One of the characters in the soap had been fighting and another character mentioned Gavin Rees' name and the other asked who he was, the one character said he was \ had been British and European lightweight champion... or something similar, he failed to mention he was WBA 140lbs champ though.

    Can see what you mean like. You're right, why the **** did they pick Gavin Rees of all people? Maybe it's Tyrone's new nickname for his missus, doesn't she beat the **** out of him regularly?

    :lol:

    They realise that the places these soaps (Corrie, Manchester, Eastenders, East end of London) are meant to be going on are 'boxing places'. That's why you'll see the occassional token gym in shows like Eastenders and mentions of fighters, or posters of fights in pubs.
