What's the deal with the caroline song? Brits sing it at every big fight I've ever seen lol.



Someone let me in on the inside joke.

It’s awful, plum ******. I cringe every time I see people back home doing that. Truth is most of the blokes you see at boxing matches are out on the piss looking for an event as an excuse for a piss up. A piss head will join the crowd in a heart beat

At the end of the day, it's just another virus, but people underestimate viruses. Forget the cold that you called something else. Anyone who has ever had a bad (actual) flu knows that being sick can be more than just feeling a bit poorly and having a runny nose.

My Dad is in poor health. Got it and was asymptomatic.

My Mum was in good health. Got it and has spent the last two weeks in hospital. Thankfully she seems to be on the mend but she's had a tough time and I've had thoughts I'd never had before.

Both in their 60s. Not that old. They had me very young.

Viruses can eff you up. All of them. This one is just really contagious, so we're all going to get it and some are going to have a really horrible time with it.

So let's hope Eddie gets a lesser case. He's young and fit so the odds are absolutely massively in his favour. But be careful joking or dismissing it, because you never quite know how someone will be affected.

So good luck Eddie. Just in case you need it.

I am going to use the phrase "a piss up"

It's been sung by football crowds in the UK for years. Eddie Hearn started this thing of always playing it right before the ring walks for the main event at his shows, and other UK promoters followed suit. So whenever boxing fans hear that song the excitement level rises, because they know the big fight is about to start.

It's not only UK boxing fans who are suckers for this corny but catchy sing-along anthem though:
