    One of my all-time favourite fighters. Now I just have to pluck up the courage to phone him at his house. First time I've been slightly nervous of phoning a fighter.

    The guy's a legend.

    Good on you uppercut. I may actually start doing freelance work. Just ring people up see if I can get an interview. Just go round with a camera, boxing glove and tape recorder. Ask a few questions get the glove signed get a picture taken the **** off :) Sounds like a plan. :)

    Any autographs I get go to my baby son, Jake. I'm building a scrap book for him. One, so he can look back on my articles etc. Two, if he gets into boxing he's got some form of historical knowledge, Three, he'll think his Dad is cool! :good
