    Best example of hostile would be Lucas Browne traveling to Chagaev’s home country to beat him. Apparently whoever their psychotic president/leader is took a cheap shot at Browne’s ribs the day before the fight while protected by heavily armed guards, the coward haha.

    Doesn’t get much more hostile than that.

    Galindez never fought Coetzee. He did fight Pierre Fourie and Richie Kates in South Africa which were brutal battles. Not sure if that’s what you were referring to.

    Always remember when Benn went to Italy to challenge Galvano.
    The hostile crowd and the attempt by the Italian s team to try to rob Benn of the win.
    Luckily Mill's Lane wouldn't stand for it.
