    To be fair a lot of people from commonwealth countries who were automatically awarded British citizenship seem to have suddenly become foreign again under this current UK government. Let's hope they let him back into the UK to commentate or watch Joshua/Povetkin.

    He was born in the UK... Canada was his adopted nationality and then he came home. Did he have an affiliation with both countries? Yes. But for me, which nation you were born in dictates your nationality (the clue is in the word

    ality) unless you renege it completely. He didn't, he came back.

    He classes himself as British and always has. But honestly who gives a chit about this nationalistic bull****, I'm personally a fan of the man and boxer not where he happened to be born.

    “I’ve got a British passport and a Canadian passport, and obviously my British passport comes first.”

    In a 1999 BBC interview, he addressed the forever thorny citizenship issue: “I have always been English, ever since I emigrated from England and since the kids in Canada beat me up at the age of 12 for having an East London Cockney accent. I thank them for the Cockney taunts because the beatings turned me on to boxing. But on a serious note, Canada has been kind to me.”

    He didn't comeback mate, his own words were " my fellow countryman Kirk Johnson" will do me, we know where Kirky boys from..Soon as Maloney was gone so was his affiliation with England, pure and simple. I know he was born in London but I think we are grasping at straws if he don't acknowledge it himself, like a bit shallow. It was a springboard for his pro career simples

    Do cows have passports? Can they talk and express an opinion? If i knew of a talking cow capable of conscious thought with sublime boxing skills, I'd not worry where it was from (even if it had a Canadian 'moo') I'd make a fortune....
