    The Calzaghe/Henry Cooper ones coming to Wolverhampton too, might go to that.

    Is the Benn one just one date?

    Was a good night last night,shame you could'nt make it Wid. Frank was good value,funny and down to earth.Seems to be still struggling to lead a 'normal' life outside th ring and says he still needs his 3 hr gym fix to stay on track. I think he's doin brilliant from where he was at. Could of listened to Big Joe Egan all night,quality.I asked him if he could see the Tyson-Douglas upset comin,from the trainin camp and with the Greg Page Knock down and outside influences and he said the Mike had a bad drug problem,was on the crack pipe 2 weeks before the fight and one of the reasons the fight was held in Tokyo was to avoid stringent drug testing in the states.Fasinating stuff.He went on to say no way would Buster beat a fit Tyson and without his problems he would of gone on to be the greatest ever and probablly never would of been beat.
    I enjoyed listening to Cass Pennant But football aggro not my cup of tea really and it attracted some well known local loons to the venue whos questions and remarks had me holdin me head in me hands.Nobs.
    A good night though and the missus enjoyed it too.
