  1. I'm sure I remember he said someone paid for his shorts or something like that.

    Is that how its working now? I thought we were buying stakes in Jeff and plundering his purses.

    Okay, so I'll pay for his water. You take his trainers/cutmans expenses. Deal? :think

    Right dudes- thanks for the interest.

    No!! i'm not shitting it TF!! ha ha i'm really looking forward to challenging myself and giving it all i've got.

    5 years is a big ask but I love it- I love the fact that i'm up against it again with no pressure. I feel great in the gym and I know the increase in size will be an interesting challenge- but this is waht life is about isn't it?

    Challenging yourself to do the unexpected?

    September last year I was 12 st out of shape... Felt old and like my boxing was a lifetime ago but since training i've got myself into super impressive shape- held my own with some really good fighters.

    I've grafted my nuts off and to be honest by getting in there i've already won. But the icing on the cake will be getting the W tomorrow. I've seen a video of him I know what he's about and unless he brings something i've not seen I WILL win this fight.

    I've lost wafer close fights to the current Commowealth champion, the recently deposed European champion and I was good enough to stand in there With Current World Champion Ricky Burns and give it a fair go at 2 days notice. Beaten five area champs - drew with a guy who'd only recently KO'd Dazzo Williams. And done two 10 rounders at short notice.

    He should be shitting it not me. ;-)

    Anyway night night guys- i'll try and text one of you to let you know how I go on.

    Internet blackout tomorrow

    You're the man Jeff and an inspiration to all of us. If you're not, then you should be. Loads of luck, not that you'll need it. You're a class above this guy :good

    Jeff, can I join your entourage and shout inspirational slogans when you walk to the ring?
