british boxing signing fair today..

Ken bs hasnt got a pot to **** in and was on building sites 14 years ago.. I know because i sat and had a pint with him in my local..

 

Yeah, I know Gas. He was a joiner wasn't he?

 

I now take a pen with me to any show I go to just in case. I went to the WSB at York Hall at the start of the month and got the autographs of Andrew Selby, Fred Evans and Sam Maxwell (whose family I sat next to and who joined them later on - seemed a really nice guy.) I felt a bit like a kid again but it's quite an enjoyable hobby. Will try to get Richie Woodhall's at the next one as he's part of the tv's commentary.

 

Sure was he was doing a job in Ascot with his 6 scottish mates, Nice bloke was sat there having a pint with him ,then he said im ken B and it finally clicked, didnt have a clue to start with.. l.o.l

 

Sorry Reevo, thought you were Gasman for some reason.

 

:huh Its ok you can still talk to me...

 

Thanks, I just thought you might find the "Gas" reference in a my post a bit puzzling!

I read somewhere KB got taken to the cleaners by a couple of ex-wives but reading in between the lines I got the impression he wasn't the most dutiful husband in the world.

 

No we didn't. We paid for the privilege of watching them risk their health for our pleasure. I'm sure all the boxers at these events would have their photo taken for free out on the street, but they attend these events on the understanding they get paid, and the fans who turn up know that.

 

Frank looked sad as his older brother Michael who was a major influence on his life past away earlier this week

 

Thanks for sharing your experience mate, great to hear about Witherspoon in particular. I've met Bellew too, top guy.

Sad about Bruno's brother, how did he die?

 

Cancer I believe. Frank idolised Michael, used to spar with him as a kid, Michael wrote Frank Bruno heavyweight champion of the world 1986 over family door when he was still in ams, so when the fight with Witherspoon was announced it was billed as ' the dream fight' because of Michaels prediction, whilst the year was wrong he got to see his little brother live out the dream eventually . I'm sure frank seeing Witherspoon will have brought it all back

 

Roy jones and Bruno are gonna be at collectormania in Milton Keynes football ground in may , garza jimmy greaves Geoff hurst and a load of others are goin to b there it's free entry
