I like Kelly, but would have more respect for him if he'd travelled to Australia!

Our neck of the woods have been crying out for a good fighter to get behind, him and Ritson have looked good prospects so far, they’ll sell out the football grounds if they get into title contention.

Would be truly amazing to see St James Park sold out for boxing, but I wouldn't fancy watching from that away supporters viewpoint!
