Green/Briggs is on....

After Siaca? :huh

 

Wow, this article suggests Green will be his comeback fight?

That's a big ask after being out for 2 years due to health issues.

 

please dont Paul...this is bad news

 

Agree with you.

I'm sure in Briggsy's mind he's all good and doing it for the right reasons - but geez I hope it works out OK for him.

...it's not like a golf comeback where the worst thing that can happen is you make a fool of yourself.

 

paul is done, i hope its a handshake fight...

"lets spar for 12 rounds kinda thing"

id hate to see him stand up to a **** load of punishment from green.

 

Is it for Greens IBO belt?

 

hmmm, surely there is a warm up fight for briggs b4 this. - otherwise could be a bad night for him. Mind you if anyone deserves a solid payday its him.

Don't know about the article integrity though - Briggs never held the WBC lt hvy title?

 

I know, it's amazing articles get written with little blemishes like this.

 

i swear ive heard this in so many articles where they say briggs was the world champ. i was starting to question myself as i never thought he got there but definitely deserved one.

 

Makes Danny's Mundine Anzac Day challenge look all a bit scripted now doesn't it, considering 5-odd days later he's pulling a press conference to announce a Briggs fight.

Blah, blah, blah...

 

Briggsy reckons an attack on him by a thug has got him keen to fight again. From goldcoast.com.au:

Thug attack gave Briggs `Green' light to resume

Paul `Hurricane' Briggs is making a surprise comeback to the ring and may take on world cruiserweight champion Danny Green

WORLD boxing champion Danny Green has been placed on `Hurricane' alert.

The man who blitzed legend Roy Jones Jr in a first-round shock in December could be defending his world cruiserweight crown against comeback surprise Paul `Hurricane' Briggs by mid-2010.

Gold Coast-based Briggs yesterday confirmed he was stepping back in the ring, but would not speculate on who his first opponent would be.

However the rumour mill has already cranked into overdrive matching Briggs and Green in a dream Down Under showdown.

"I am not saying who I want to face first up, I just know I want to fight," said Briggs.

"I retired three years ago, but today, right now, I feel like I can do anything.

"Something happened just recently that made me realise how much I love fighting. A switch was flicked ."

That 'something' was a street fight in Coolangatta.

Briggs said he was on a night out two weeks ago when a thug attacked him.

"I definitely did not instigate anything. All I did was defend myself," he said.

The thug picked the wrong bloke to harass. Briggs knocked him out.

Although he says he is a 'family man' who does not condone street violence the incident awoke the warrior.

He is back in training and keen to step back into the ring.

"My family is behind me. If they were not I would not be doing this," he said.

As far as how they work the media, I don't think their is much difference between Mundine and Green nowadays.

 

There is no difference. Any charge you lay at one is equally applicable to the other.

 

One way or the other it's getting boxing into the papers, and yes they are both at it.

Interesting that when Green announced his challenge to Mundine it got big coverage - large picture etc. By contrast I had to search the Internet to find Mundine's response - did not make the Herald Sun in Melbourne, not even a line.
