    Had the pleasure of meeting Duke...The man is a real gentleman and a great ambassador for the sport.

    Him and his family do a lot of good work for boxing.

    Nice story btw

    People like Duke are unsung heroes. They never court publicity and do quite a bit for the community. Such people rarely receive any recognition. Peopel like Duke should be knighted. I remember after the Clapham disaster there were concerns about his mental state as the scene of the crash was a complete knightmare but he came through it.

    I think Duke is very astute and knows exactly when peoples legs have gone.



















    ..... But what a beautiful stand up boxer... you'd be hard pressed to find better... No wonder you like him Billy.
