    Ian John-Lewis claiming he got sacked due to racism, nah mate, you got sacked because you were useless, anyone who scored the Taylor-Catterall to Taylor are clearly incompetent and should never score another fight again

      The British Board of No Control needs shaking up tbf, it’s been the same motley crew for years now, Ian John Lewis included. Glad they finally got rid of that stooge, hopefully Robert Smith, Fat Terry and Howard Foster follow him out the door.

        Agree with you mate, and tbh, there should be more diversity on the board when you consider how many POC fighters are in the sport

          That is not the correct use of the term woke. I know the right-wing has bastardized the word, but c'mon.

            It is a bit of an old boys club truth be told. But Ian John Lewis makes a lot of horrific calls too. More youth and more diversity required in the BBBoC. England Boxing (the amateur setup) on the other hand has a fair amount of diverse representation in terms of ages and races. I've officiated all across the UK on amateur shows and box cups over the years, and it's day and night compared to the pros.

              Yeah it’s jobs for the boys isn’t it, I’m sure you have to be recommended or seconded by somebody to get on the board so it’s essentially just people employing their mates.
