I was hitting on a chick in a nightclub on St.Patrick's day earlier this year, and Tyson Fury turned up. We were all really wasted and at some point her and Tyson struck up a conversation and began dancing together...
A while later i managed to drag this girl away from him, and things were going well until him and his buddy approached us. Initially i thought i'd made a grave error, but he shook my hand and said "i could get any girl in here i wanted... So i'll leave this one to you". We had a bit of a chat about Hughie's recovery from his illness etc. , then parted ways. Really nice guy.

Na, it's all fun and games when you call professional athletes bums on the internet but in real life I'd hope most people respect guys that get punched in the head to put food on their families plates. Especially if you've ever boxed before.

Shortly afterwards chris byrd walked right past us, and being boxing fans we were all excited and yelling "chris Byrd, chris BYRD, CHRIS BYRD" and dude gave us the cold shoulder and literally walked right past us,,, I had to keep it real and shout "that's why you ain't got no fans chris Byrd". This did get his attention and he turned back smiled and gave us a thumbs up,seemingly feeling like an idiot for being a prick to us.. True story

Tysons a top bloke,a lot of people take him the wrong way as they think he's like what he's like in his interviews.

I got Hector to spar with me and was given a cold hard dose of reality. When I would punch at Hector in front of me, by the time my punch left my hand Hector would be on the side or in back of me. Now mind you he was really retired at this point. He wouldn't hit me but he touched me several times as if to say "you know I could have punched the **** outta you doc" I never boxed again after that and took Hector and his girlfriend out to lunch with me and my wife several times. He could have really hurt me if he had been the azz hole people say he was. I loved Hector and my wife thanked him for not beating the **** out of my arrogant azz. He laughed and said "doc you told her"? I said yeah man and we laughed. I cried like a baby when he was murdered. Im friends with Jessie Paul brother of Jimmy Paul and Danny mad dog Paul. So I saw them a lot. Being from Detroit, I saw James tony, oba carr, and a lot of boxers that didn't become household names. I never thought to diss these dudes and gave them a ton of respect. They gave it back. Pro boxers will kill a average joe with ease. Trained kills untrained all day. Some of you cats that are critical of some pros have no clue.
I fought out of Detroit way back when. Jesse Paul worked with me for a bout while my trainer was in the hospital. Jesses one cool cat as a person and slick with his style in the ring. You could see the results in Imari, that kid worked his ass off while I was around him. Good people, the Pauls.
Detroit boxing is coming alive real soon.
If you're near Detroit come to Jackie Kallens pro show coming up. The first one that she threw featured some well matched and exciting bouts.
Long Live Detroit Boxing!!!
