Best of luck to him, on these shores there really is a (non-crushing) weight attached to the surname.

So a top promotional outfit is excited about a 25 year old with no amateur experience. Is this another Campbell Hatton in the making ? Same old story find a well known surname feed them the 1st body from the bus queue then work your way down it until you’ve rinsed the hell out of it because you do not wish to offend the owner of the famous name by them getting beat by someone who can hold their hands up then when you have to put them in against a hard working not so privileged guy ( who I really respect ) they get beat .
