    For those who don't know, I've been at the offices of Boxing News this past week, helping the guys source pictures for a project they are putting together. Whilst searching the archives, I have been allowed to scan myself a few pictures, and I thought i'd share you a few of the gems ive found.

    Enjoy

    I emailed Tris a while ago, asking if he had any writing positions avaliable. Unfortunately he didnt, but he messaged me back not to long ago asking if i'd be interested in helping out with the archives for a couple weeks.
