    Classic Frank. Remember him doing this with Hatton and Calzaghe for ages. He must have mentioned Bernard Hopkins after every fight Joe had for about eight years.

    Forget Kovalev, that fight isn't happening. I would settle for Callum Johnson or Hosea Burton!

    Frank won't repeat his mistake of bringing Kovolev over again, that i am confident off.

    This. Kovalev has already destroyed the career of one of his young fighters. Not happening again.

    If there’s a boxing God up there then please let this Kov fight happen so he can put this pretender to rest!

    PS Fwank is totally playing everyone with this BS statement. PADIDAS won’t let it happen either! Tundy would poo his G String if this fight happened.

    Think I’ve got more chance of fighting Kovalev this year than Yarde does​

    Of course it won't happen but there's no reason it shouldn't. 1) getting blasted out by Kovalev at this stage in your career (or any stage for that matter) isn't the mark of a bad fighter 2) says you have balls.
    Ain't happening though.

    Yarde should loose the number 1 ranking. Its not like he is going to fulfill it.

    Get the Hosea Burton fight on. Thats the fight most people will want to see.

    He was going to fight;
    Mikhalkin > never happened
    Beterbiev > never happened
    Barrera > never happened
    Amar > never happened
    He did fight Sjekloca, Averlant, Sek, Sequeira, and now Reeves.

    Wonder who it's he's actually fighting instead of Kovalev?

    speak for yourself !! Started fishing again about 4 years ago after years and years since my auld man used to take me.

    First time back i went for pike (always trout with the auld fella). First fish i landed since going back was a 17lb monster pike (biggest fish as a youngster was maybe 2lb at a push!). Still remember it perfectly, got close and it was massive compared to anything i had ever caught before, solid, long, teeth n all.

    Got it landed, messed about in a panic almost to unhook it, but got it back in.

    Was proper buzzing after it, proper adrenaline !

    Sorry just like to tell that story !

    i swear near on ruined my boxers , more so cos it was quite deep hooked and just trying to deal with a decent sized strong fish like that wasnt easy for someone with so little experience. I just wanted it back in the water as soon as.

    Didnt even put a rod back in the water for about 30 mins, sat down for 5 mins, blazed a doob til i calmed down a bit.
