    I’ve been to several of the recent bigger events in Manchester.

    As you expect you do get a few idiots who have been on the beer all day. The trouble I’ve seen tends to be rival fans from different football teams - this was certainly the case at Froch-Groves 1 and at a couple of the Crolla fights - and it tended to be during the undercard.

    To be fair though, I think the stewarding has improved significantly - especially at matchroom events. The atmosphere tends to be decent and I’m sure your lads will love it.

    the 02 and Matchroom is probably about the safest it gets. You will have a cracking night mate.

    You'll be fine the O2 is a really well staffed venue and matchroom have their own professional security, it won't be anything like a Frank Warren special.

    Just don't let Adam Smith near you and it will be fine.

    Watch out for Adam Smith mingling in the toilets - the type of guy who pisses air for 60 mins while sizing up peckers

    He's not allowed within 500 metres of children so it should be fine.

    Make sure they are warm, I know it sounds dumb but I went to AJ VS Povetkin, and it was freezing. Never the less, going to a boxing fight (especially like Whyte Vs Chisora) they will love it. The environment is such a nice place to be around.

    You will be fine , its only when BJS fights does it all go crazy.

    Its the O2 as well so they don't take any messing.

    Although it will be cold, you went to a stadium fight at the end of September, always going to get nippy on a night time.
