I'll get in touch with the Kevin fella, see what happens...
I have no real journalistic training though, other than winning the school prize for English when I was about 14 :-)

[J !]

no worries ive pm'd rick as well he may drop you a line.

[Nature Boy]

I've e-mail Kevin, see what transpires...
I'd be happy to contribute for nothing in truth, just being able to write, and follow boxing, would keep me happy.

[J !]

thats very hnourable but if you do the graft generally you get to sit ringside mate. sports network willing.
i dont get paid for it neother just go to some shows here and there, i wouldnt really want to be, then its an obligation you know you have to do it, rather than wanting to do it.....

speaking of which Barry has kev sent any fight lists recently i havent seen anything though york hall is closed for a refub til march, anything up your way coming up mate?

[Nature Boy]

Sure, it becomes a job not a hobby....

[J !]

yeah for Kev its a job and a love but he owns the site so....the other guy whom im avctually meeting tomorrow for a few beers, is the editor Ian mcneilly he is ****ing ace. Had a few articles publishined in boxing news and various magazines. you should check some of his articles out trust me he will be the future of British boxing journalism..

[Nature Boy]

Yeah? I get Boxing News every week, probably read some of his stuff without realising.
It is a great way to make a living I think.

Kev said I can cover Arthur/Docherty(Is this def on coz it doesn't sound like they've signed a contract?) That is a huge fight up here, my generations version of Buchanan/Watt i'd say so fingers crossed it comes off.
I'll just go for Gilmour shows now if I can because Sports Network have some real p**** working for them

[J !]

aaah wicked nice one mate, im glad theyve got you to a show, and a good one at that, not sure if its defo on mate to be honest but i know it was being made, yeah SN can be funny, I get on alright with Richard maynard so i dont struggle but yeah they can be a bit hit and miss sometimes.

Can't complain at all BBN are good guys I could have done the last Doc fight but I already had tickets so they've given me some great opportunities, it has to be said all thanks to you bud
