I feel so sorry for Connor Benn🥺
He needs a hug!! He was brilliant!
He won our hearts!
Some hard hitters here - From a few years back
No Joe Calzaghe unfortunately - My favourite boxer
Names on next post
Alan Rudkin, Alan Minter, Charlie Magri, Dave Boy Green, Ken Buchanan, Terry Spinks, Henry Cooper and John Conteh at the Henry Cooper
Golf Classic a few years back…
Only three of them still with us, sadly.
Ken Buchannan - looks like a primary school teacher but tough as nails
‘I think with Eubank, if he’d not got up in the first round and I’d knocked him out- would I be as good as I was? Probably not. I think that experience of me going to hell and back and he said one thing before the fight that I’ll never forget. I was cocky and brash and he said, ‘I’m going to take you to one place you’ve never been - the trenches.’ I didn’t know what the trenches were but trust me, after 7 or 8 rounds in that fight, I knew exactly what he meant.’
- Joe Calzaghe
Would love to see this…
*Joe Calzaghe says he will make a return to boxing to face Jake Paul with a $10 million offer! *
Calzaghe told Boxing News: “Would I get in the ring with Jake Paul? Let’s say for £10 million. That would keep me happy. As long as I don’t have to make weight for the fight, give me about four or five months’ training and I’ll be good!”
