Is this the first time this has happend, well ever? some people say that boxing is on the way down in Britain. However considering the return of boxing on terrestial tv thanks to Frank Warren :eek: and the success of Ricky and JC and the fact we have plenty of young guns that are capable of stepping up and challenging on the world stage, it looks good to me.
best boxers from all over the world come over here. Britian needs to export more boxers
Our boxers can make as much money here if not more than they can in America, the fact Ricky has to raise his profile in the states says it all.
This with British fighters is that they fight in in England and Europe for most of their careers (as most European fighters) and get no credit if they don't come to the United States, which I think is ridicolous. Calzaghe for example & a bit Hatton, after his win over Tszyu right away people said he should come fight in the United States.
