Over on the scene, Macklin saying he wouldn't like to fight Andy Lee but if there was a world title on the line he'd go for it.

 

Who the hell is this Apollo guy? He turned up at the Tyson Fury press conference in some sort of fancy dress costume and started touting Audley Harrison as a possible opponent for Fury.

THE SAGA OF IKE WEIR, “THE BELFAST SPIDER”

By Douglas Cavanaugh



He was the greatest featherweight of his day. He went up and down the line and beat them all, irrespective of race or color. He could hit like a pile driver and was as clever as (Joe) Gans at blocking blows.



Obituary for Ike Weir

San Francisco Call, Sept. 25, 1908

 

hes a genuine nutjob

 

I've known him for a while. Hard to miss him at pressers over here.

It's easy to look down your nose at him and view him as a figure of derision but he actually asks some good questions but lets himself down the odd time as well.

Definately not the full shilling though.

 

it was some lad from the brit forum said he met him at the i think tyson peterborough promotion and he managed to get himself mentioned as one of britans top prospects in fairness id prefer to chat to him than jane couch

 

I heard off the guy that ran the Tyson tour that he turned up to every single dinner across the UK.

 

fair ****s to him for that was it longcount or neil hibbert did the tyson tour? wait neil did sugar ray didnt he?
