    The Battersea bomber, One of my favourite fighters of all time. I can't recall him getting knocked down off the top of my head but I'm pretty sure he hasn't.

    No. His head was full of steel. Tough man.

    Tough as old boots was Eastman.

    Froch always speaks of him in very high regard - probably helped Froch on his journey to become the fighter he did when training and sparring alongside Eastman in his earlier days.

    One of the fighters I followed in my early days of watching boxing, used to love watching him.

    The fight with William joppy was so frustrating to watch , was there for the taking had him in trouble but just wasn’t active enough to take the title from him ! Use to love watching Eastman back in the day with the bleach blond balding hair !
