Christ stegs you could of made me sound better than that. Something like 'Blackpools one man army of destruction and chaos!!!' atsch
Emma, I have to represent Mark at a board meeting over the way he pulled out of the eliminator with Brook which was set for the 8th December 2007. It looks like the board will suspend Mark from contesting the British title for 12 months and maybe fine him ( I will pay it if it happens as it was no fault of Marks) - a complete joke if you were to ask me but in a way it sums up a part of Boxing that we have to live with. Mark and his his team were happy to fight Kell, but not when he was not fiit to do so.It seems the board have decided that he will have to wait and if so ,that is what will have to happen. We will certainly look at other options after the meeting if this is the case. STEVE WOOD
