    It depends on what you mean by British.

    Legally, he's British as he has a British passport.

    Ethnically, he's not as his parents are non-Brits (unless he has some grandparents who are British).

    Culturally, he'll be British. He has lived here since he was 3 years old. He went to a British school, goes to British gyms, I'm assuming he has British mates. Your surroundings influence you greatly and will ultimately determine the type of person you become and interest you have.

    Did anyone else notice that Howard Foster was the ref again? I can’t think off the top of my head now but every time the big puncher is the home fighter he ends up reffing it. If Hrgovic was in that state it would have been waved off a hell of a lot earlier.

    I know you have to defend yourself but Itauma wasn’t actually taking much damage. Imagine the uproar if Howard Foster (of all people) stopped a fight because someone was tired :lol:

    I know what you mean, nothing big landed but being that exhausted and knocked out with one big shot by a big man is more likely to be one where you don’t wake up?
