    Just seen he is in Saudi working with his fighter Mohammed Alakel. Seems to be very stoic about it all, fair play.

    Dam. Thoughts and prayers with him and his family. The man is a legend tbh, he has done a ton for the sport.

    It's a shame something like this happening, is what it took to get positive comments about Gallagher from boxing fans. There's been a horrible bandwagon of childish, trolling comments about Gallagher for too long, and minimizing his achievements.

    He's been a very good trainer for many years, so passionate about the sport, and always has seemed like a good human being to me.

    He powered through a Buncey interview on 5Live earlier, but eventually cracked in tears. He ain't stopping still!

    Massive respect for how he's approaching this. Wish Joe and all close to him the best.

    had plenty of fun joking about him (his tactics and training style, not any of the other stuff) but he deserves plenty of credit for taking a ton of young lads from Manchester and Liverpool, who usually don’t have a lot of obvious natural talent, and drilling them into British, European, and World champions

    Never understood why people will insist on telling people they're stupid, just keep it to yourself; especially in a thread like this
