    I looked at the difference, and A* can do all fights including world titles, but A can only do up to British / Commonwealth (no Euro titles.)

    They’ve told Ian to keep his head down for a year and he’ll be back on for Fury / Chisora 3.

    Does he still work for the police? I remember a BBC documentary forever ago that was about the goings on at a police station and he was the one who booked people in after they got arrested.

    Yeah he's a copper. Makes it even worse that we are supposed to trust this guy to uphold the law when he cannot even apply the rules in a boxing ring properly.

    Nice one. I wasn’t sure whether to call him a copper or a police station receptionist!

    It's way past being incompetent....I've said it time and again you only need one judge onside and it makes so much difference.....

    He's either terrible at his job, or corrupt. (Or both!)

    Either way, he has to go. He's had countless bad stoppages as a referee alone, and his judging is even worse.

    He let Shannon Briggs take 12 rounds of terrible unnecessary punishment from Vitali Klitschko, Briggs was hospitalised for weeks

    It wasn’t a close fight but it clearly was swept under the rug because it didn’t affect the result.

    The only black boy in his school and growing up in the Sixties, wasn’t the easiest start, but his character ensured he overcame any disadvantage life would through at him. Ian had to earn respect and has earned it, by being true to himself and fair to all…whatever the consequences.

    From the inmates he has locked up, the boxers he fought and refereed, to the business men and promoters in boxing,

    He is the championship contender cheated out of his shot, the man who has refereed the oldest boxing world champion and one of only five British referees to be the ‘Invisible Man’ at the World Heavyweight Championship.
