    Yeah it went under about 6 months ago. Real shame, it had some of the best Boxing journalists in the world. I'll really miss the likes of Micheal Gill, Graham Houston and Steve Lillis and reading John Exshaw's viciously brilliant book reviews.

    Got fond memories of buying my first copy back in December 1996 with Holyfield beating Tyson being on the front cover, hope the writers of BM can find similar work.

    That's a real shame, I read it for a good number of years.

    I have the very first issue, still great to look back at the British heavyweight scene, James Oyebola, Gary Mason etc.
    A great unbiased read, it will be missed
