    Anyone reckon Gill was actually going to kill himself in a field?

    He looked stronger at the higher weight. Perhaps the radiators were on too high at his previous gym.

    This is the real forum for British Boxing Fans although we are missing some of the forum Hall of Famers including @exarmyjim 39 and @DramaShow.

    British fighters in the hall of fame from memory include greats like Ken Buchanan, Joe Calzaghe, Lennox Lewis, Naz and Carl Froch.

    These legends all fought under the Union Jack and proud of them all.

    No surrender.

    You never know mate but a bottle of Vodka would not do the job unless he planned to eat it.

    Great to see him be open and come back from the brink if true.

    You know something when people mention it in conversation so easily I do find myself skeptical that they might be exaggerating or just plain making it up (Meghan Markle speaking to Oprah Winfrey!) but he had had a pretty rough time of it in and out of boxing so I'll give him benefit of the doubt.

    McKenna announced his retirement on Instagram. Good move. Was never really a fan but cannot deny the minerals on the guy

    Always a pleasure seeing that IRA twat on his arse. Hope he doesn’t retire & just keeps getting knocked out instead.

    The Conlan boxing family has the Glass Chin gene and long may it continue.

    That New York Ring Entrance music up the ra now replaced by Karma Chameleon.

    Took a lot of shots last night, hard as nails with a granite chin but I think retirement is the right call

    Personally I find jamie conlon to be one of the smuggest people in the sport so glad to see him silenced.

    I wouldnt be as visceral as you about Conlon. And judging by your pervious comments of "fenian twat", I'm guessing you're staunchly on the opposite side of the wall to Conlon.

    But I will agree with you that his entrances, and generally his marketing has been far too one sided.....

    I'm from Dublin, and wouldn't dare go to one of his fights, and it's for that one reason. Totally and utterly uninclusive. Not for me

    I hope that crocker lad doesn't mate the same mistake as Conlon in that department.

    In 2023, there's no need to alienate half of your city anymore.

    Where did I post that comment?

    Check again as it was not me.

    Agree with your post and Carl Frampton is a good example of a likeable boxer from Northern Ireland always conducting himself well.
