Because of the Tyson Fury fight there have been a lot of broadcast interviews with Frank Warren.

 

I have not seen any TV footage but from the radio coverage he does not sound healthy

Never forget that he was the subject of a Christmas #1 single in Ireland, recorded by Dermot Morgan.

Boxing promoter and bookmaker Barney Eastwood has died at the age of 87.

Eastwood, from Holywood, Co Down, died on Monday at the Ulster Hospital on the outskirts of Belfast after a period of illness.

Known to friends and family as “BJ”, Eastwood made his name in the bookmaking business, building up a large chain of shops across Northern Ireland. In 2008, he sold his 54 shops to Ladbrokes in a deal worth £135 million.

Despite his success in bookmaking, Eastwood was best known for his work as a boxing promoter and manager, particularly his association with world champion fighter Barry McGuigan.

what a shite post.  ‘Famous trainer’ are you kidding me?  Show some fucking respect.

Was going to say "couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy", but then you mentioned his son right there.

Dingko Singh, former Indian boxer, has apparently lost 70% of his liver to cancer.

Blast from the past, the cancer might be back:
