    Would you be upset if they replaced it with a proper gym?

    Brand new.

    nah

    they dont want to save it

    Colin Jones wants it knocked down as it has "outlived itself"

    It is a building still standing from a time that belongs to the past

    The time has come where this building now has to be reduced to rumble and confined to the memorys of history

    As sad as it is time passes on and things change

    The future is they have a lottery grant and plan to build a new £105,000 gym on the site - maybe twice the size of the current boxing shed

    If you look at my avatar picture the empty piece of grass land next to it is room to build a even bigger newer boxing shed !!!!!!!!!

    Very true Flint. Would we expect to see you down there punching a few heavy bags at the new £105,000 gym?

    Use gloves mind. Fat Joe always reminds us of the time you hit one of those Boxing machines in a bar full force and fell to the floor in agony.

    I doubt I will train there

    But of course I trained and sparred over the old shed when I was about 15 - 16 years old

    I was going to fight amateur - but I didnt go through with it in the end - no regrets though - I dont fancy getting bashed up with crowds of people watching you -

    sparring in a gym was ok

    but fighting in front of big crowds would probaly have me shitting myself :scaredas:

    Fat Joe is the only one throwing punches around town and on them machines

    He knocked a kid out who was threatneing him with death on Wind Street in 2007 and said he based the punch on how he had been practising on the nightclub punch machines :deal

    Is Khan ranked No.1 by WBO? Wikipedia say he does. Is Don trying to hold MAB as No.1?
