Apologies if there has already been a thread (I did not see it). But congratulations to Duke McKenzie. Although not his greatest fan as a commentator, his boxing career certainly deserved recognition. A nice bit of positive mainstream publicity for boxing.
Britains only 3 weight World Champion?, if you count Fitzsimmons as a Kiwi, or Irish-American as Bert Sugar does
Well done Duke Now he is on the same level of other great boxers with MBE's Audley, Degale........oh wait?!:blood
Since when did Sugars opinion mean **** all? Congaratulations Duke an remember, if you loose it you can allways say 'its gone Jim!'
Gets far too much stick Duke for his punditry - thought him and Rawling were a decent team. I remember him predicting Hopkins would beat Calzaghe before their fight even though it meant Joe calling him out on it as they were stablemates under Mickey Duff years before. Would Richie Woodhall for example have ever called it exactly as he saw it knowing he'd offend a friend?
