    A 28 year old man was stabbed in Corringham Essex.

    http://www.thurrockgazette.co.uk/news/8206165.Stabbing_in_Corringham/

    Ive been told this by a friend in the know:

    "basically jim the bloke didnt die,he was a boxer from horndon way,got into an altercation with some pikies at the courthouse,they later tracked him down and tried to blackmail him for money or they would stab hiom,he told his friends this then the next morning he was stabbed."

    Considering he's about to fight Tyson Fury....

    .... John McDermott anyone?

    And I just bought tickets for that fight!

    5 o'clock in the evening that article was put on yesterday.

    I think something more concrete would have turned up here by now!!!

    Well, he's about that age and Horndon is a very small village. There can't be many (if any) other boxers living there.

    Fury is what some people have refered to as a "pikey" and surely someone would only try and blackmail a person for money if there thought that person was successful and had some cash?

    It might be a load of old bollocks but it would be quite a coincindence if this is true!
