    you low class person... you say that eubank is brighton because he lives there?

    well, before you stop embarass YOURSELF, perhaps you should read this...

    Christopher Livingstone Eubanks (later opting to remove the 's' from his surname), one of the sons of Rachel Scollins, was born on 8 August 1966, in Dulwich, South London, and spent his early days in Jamaica (from two months old to six years old). On his return to England, he lived in Stoke Newington, Dalston, Hackney and then Peckham, in a largely impoverished environment.

    that's more london than brighton to me but maybe your genius mind can gain some other information from that text.

    Look out for a guy called Terry Fitzgerald from Battersea, trust me he punches with the correct side of the gloves, and is a real student of the game- he takes boxing nerdiness to a new level.

    When was the last time a london world champion defended his world title in london?

    Barker never got a homecoming so you have to go back to 2008 Haye vs Maccirinelli
    Shocking really isn't it

    London shows don't sell well either- i think hearn and fish eyes are just lazy thats why they always have london shows so they don't have to travel all the time, if i was them i wouldn't bother having a london stable

    Northerners are boring miserable kunts who are obsessed with London LOL.They are boring which is why their fighters don't have fan bases with the exception of Hatton and Warrington.

    And its NORTH V SOUTH not just London.Look at the Southern fighters.Billie Joe Saunders,Mitchell Smith,George Groves,Frank Buglioni,David Haye,Kevin Mitchell,Tommy Martin all good lads with big fan bases.

    I was going to refer to this. In an immigrant city where the old working class are being pushed out, the gyms are not gong to thrive. Barker is old school London working class but he is the exception to the rule. London is a city of migrants bit nationally and internationally.
