I think ITV missed a chance there the fight should be on ITV 1 bring back the boxing on ITV with huge fights in the past of Naz and Calzaghe all on ITV to name just a few.

Good luck fella! when you fighting?
Also, if you dont mind me asking, have you ever sparred before? A couple of lads I train with are trying to convince me to do one but I'm reluctant to do so as whilst I have never had a competitive bout, I have been sparring regularly with different partners for about 2 years and I feel that I would be taking the piss a bit.
I'm aware there will be loads of guys entering with more experience than me but it just doesnt sit right with me.

I've not sparred yet will be starting in the next couple of weeks, wanted to get a good feel for the basic principles of boxing first. I'm not fighting until September so got plenty of time. They cater for all levels and i will be clearly novice level, my coach is quality though and looking forward to it in a macabre sort of way.

Thats top pal. So by the sounds of it you will be paired to fight someone of similar experience?
You'll have a ball in training, its incredibly addictive, just gutted I didnt get into it at a younger age
