Sorry if this has come up elsewhere in the last few weeks, but tonight's nonsense with "retiring the red corner" in case anyone's upset at Avanesyan the ex-Soviet, made me think of the big Geordie lad. I take it his "Drago" tribute and frigging USSR shorts are patched for good now? His skills probably meant he wasn't going to be around much longer anyway but just wondered if he'd openly mentioned it...
Given what Drago did to Apollo and his lack of remorse, it was always going to be a bit distasteful (I was a big fan of Creed) however I'm sure the intention was just a nod to his size and blonde hair.
he signed with Boxxer, so will have more fights to go on his contract I'm assuming very poor signing by Ben Shalom LOL he'll probably feed him to one of his other heavyweight prospects.
Doubt in the current climate Sky allow him to do the gimmick anymore. Which is all he has going for him really.
