Right there is everything that is good about boxing. Respect, hard work & a true reminder of all the sacrifices a man must make to feel that belt round his waist & hear the words 'and champion'. Well done, Jack, hope it works out well for yo.

"I’m going to go and see my girlfriend," Rafferty said. "I’ve not seen her since March. “I’ve not even gone to see my mum’s grave, I’ll be dressing her up tomorrow in the gold stuff.”
