    I would have to speak to mods probably regarding the tyson Q&A also

    They would need to moderate it to stop the idiots

    Question from left-field ... but has Tyson or his people ever considered a fight anywhere in East Asia?

    He's mainly fought in the UK/US and went to Germany for Wlad.

    He has the optics and personality to attract a lot interest in this part of the world (I live in South Korea).
    The population is huge ... anyone who spent time here appreciates how vast the population is ... China especially.

    As long as it doesn't conflict with work, I'd very likely make the trip to Tokyo or east coast of China to see one of his fights.

    Wise, there'd be a lot of them and journos/YT'ers with sock puppet accounts.

    Eddie Chambers posted here for a bit but was probably turned off by idiots posting disrespectful stuff.

    One is retired, one is getting a bit big for his boots and one is a rising star

    Eddie and tyson keep in contact, and were close. He came on here to interact with the fans and he got abuse.

    Shame. How much better would these forums be if boxers could converse with the fans without hate?

    It's a pity. Eddie Chambers fought for the heavyweight championship of the world. Not too often boxing fans get to interact with someone who has achieved that.

    I can’t say for sure mate. He’s never really had the east in his plans.

    Was about U.K., US and Europe (klit)

    Not to say he wont though. Probably a question to ask him if I can get him on

    If so, I'd ask for them to consider making a fight in South Korea at some stage. There's been an explosion of boxing gyms across the country in recent years. I really don't know why, but there's quite a lot. Not long ago I was sitting in a restaurant and upstairs across the road I could see middle school age kids hitting bags and training.

    The country really needs some high profile international fights to elevate the sport here more. Not sure of the financials but the greater Seoul metropolitan area has 25 million people within driving/subway distance of its venues.

    Team_Chambers
    Bellew used to post under his own name IIRC or maybe it was Bomber or Bomber Bellew
    Chauncy Welliver used to post on here
    Ding is Darnell Wilson
    Haye and Shannon Briggs used to post on here too IIRC

    Eddie Chambers responded to a post of mine once where I'd joked about him having been sparked out in the gym by Hughie Fury after Hughie found a pair of his trainers that had gone missing in Eddie's kitbag lol

    Perhaps the east is waking up to the fact there’s so much more money in boxing than Thai fighting, kickboxing etc.

    There will probably be a massive explosion in the next 10-20 years of Asians etc at the heavier weights and in general

    Btw David Haye is like a different person these days

    He used to be a disgusting human

    Seems like life has finally humbled him, totally different
