    Well, truth is most of these boxers have little schooling and are likely to be very simple people. Some of the interviews give that impression anyways. So yeah I guess I'd speak to the ones with banter; BJS, Fury, Dillian Whyte, Dave Allen.

    Derek Chisora would be interesting although we might get removed from the bar after he starts chucking tables about for no reason.

    Or David Haye, but like Pricey could be a short night as he could need hospital treatment after ripping a bicep as he picked up his pint (yeah I doubt he drinks pints though - more of a cocktail man).

    You think so? Never struck me as anything less than irritating.

    You'd have to listen to stories about how great he is all night and how he's by far the best British fighter of all time, and there's one he has told a couple times about some fight at Wembley he was in, can't remember how many people were in attendance though

    I can imagine. We'd be in the pub and id be like "its packed in here" and he'd say "Not quite 80,000"

    Instead of a boxer I'd chose kalle sauerland, He'd get bang on it and get some strippers from Stringfellows

    Present fighter would be Tyson Fury, although past fighters i would have a few pints with Kirkland Laing, after he beat Roberto Duran and shocked the boxing world. After reading Nigel Benn's book, i think he would be a good laugh, not sure he left anything out of the book though.

    I've been in a pub same time as Ricky hatton, when he was promoting. The whole pub sang ' there's only one Ricky hatton' and he loved it. Came across really well.
    Although not a fighter and sadly no longer with us, I would have loved to have a pint with reg gutteridge. Obviously wouldn't turn into a big session, but would lead to some interesting conversations I think.
    Current fighter? Tyson fury
    Past fighter? Nigel benn
