Wow wasn't you the jealous one ROFL Come from spending many years in the sport & meeting many great people

 

Was working in Richmond about twelve years ago, had to get in to work early morning. Suddenly walking along and see George Groves walking towards me. First thing I thought was crikey he's massive compared to how he looks on television!!!!

 

I have met AJ, Fury, Dubois, Billam Smith, Johnny Nelson, Mayweather, Riakporhe, Vidal Riley. All in Bournemouth lol.

I have spoken to Riddick Bowe over the phone a few times as well.

 

Mike Tyson at the championship fight between Klit and areolla. Diego Coralos in Sac, Vincete Escobedo when he was opening his gym in woodland, Greg Hougin was dating a friend of my mom’s, Mike Galbreath, the movie all American boy was based on him. On a side note also sparred with Uriah Faber, Phill Barone, met Kevin Randlemon and Randy Couture

 

Muhammad Ali and Archie Moore. Ali came in a gym I was working out in. we talked for a few minutes. Very nice to speak with him. Met Archie Moore at a wrestling match when I was a young kid about...12 or 13. again....very nice. He was surprised I knew so much about his fights.

 

Sugar Shane. Great guy.

 

Tim Ta-zoo and Nikita Ta-zoo are really good blokes. Wouldbt even know they're famous humble as **** just good genuine guys.

 

Met Chris Eubank at Paddington Station, London years ago.

Well, I say met but it was really me spotting him prancing around the station either waiting for someone or maybe just hoping someone would recognise him? This was around the time that he had already retired and was going around in his truck, all dressed up with a monocle and carrying a cane but before his son became a pro boxer as well. I just gave him a little wave as I walked towards him and said hi. He looked at me and just kind of nodded his head in acknowledgment before looking away. I just carried on walking as I didn’t think he was really looking to engage verbally with anyone but just making sure people were noticing him.

 

Would never make a big deal out of meeting another man I think it’s weird.

 

I knew Fabio Wardley quite well growing up.

He was alright but also a bit of a twat if that makes sense?

 

I only met Luka Plantic in person, who lives a few kilometers away from me, a nice and down-to-earth guy, we managed to chat a bit.

 

I met Crawford at the Ortiz vs McKinson fight. He was a lot smaller than I expected.
