Endured @Eurovision last night. One thing clear. With all the drear stuff from other countries the UK did not deserve to come last even if ours was not a likely winner. Why bother - we are never going to win with the current overt political voting @gbnews @BBCNews

@audleyharrison @SkySportsNews Blimey ! He's back, looking good. Glad to see you, Audley.

@DonovanKasp Great career, Sam. Hope you stay in the sport outside the ropes.

Eggington gave everything he could in the ring. Win or lose he gave us thrills, bled for us, all for our entertainment.
Wishing him all the best in his future endeavors. 🥊

@CharlotteCGill You remind me of @TitaniaMcGrath. Are you by any chance related ?

@DonovanKasp Another one in the Barry Jones mould, thoughtful, articulate and someone who can prove to those coming after you don't have to be foul-mouthed and flash to be a 3-weight World Champion. Oh, and also like Barry, a member of the 'Legends of Boxing'.

Happy 63rd Birthday to former IBF Flyweight World Champion and WBO Bantamweight and Super Bantamweight Champion Duke McKenzie. 🏴🥊

@DonovanKasp Lovely guy, intelligent TV commentator and member of the 'Legends of Boxing'. Many Happy Returns.

@ClonesCyclone A really nice guy who was an inspiration to others including my son, Robin. Life can sometimes be very cruel to thoas who deserve it least.

@rocknrollofall Just a point - compare the articulate and reasoned way this ultimate rock star speaks compared with today's expletive ridden interviews you get so much of today. No stranger to using bad language myself but never in overtly public situations.

That time George Harrison went savage on an interview about his former band mates John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

@commboxing Thank you I appreciate it!
My opponent P. Lahnouki is 5w 3l

🔥 🇪🇸 Marbella, I’m coming. 🇪🇸🔥
Delighted to announce my next fight I will be travelling again, this time to Marbella in Spain!
Very happy and grateful for this opportunity!
Another twist in my already unconventional boxing career! 😝 but this is what it’s all about! ✈️ 🥊 🏝️

Gone but never forgotten. A legend in Scottish boxing, Willie had time for everyone. A joy to train alongside, to watch him in the ring or hitting the bag, I was watching a craftsman at his work. Respect

Remembering the legend that is Willie Limond ❤️ (2 February 1979 – 15 April 2024)

My first time refereeing in Scotland 🏴 and my second time in Glasgow after defending my british title here 25 years ago,let’s do this. I’m Firm But Fair!🥊

@Tom_Gray_Boxing Once asked former good class Middle/Lighheavy from the '40s and '50's, Ron Pudney, before a Benn fight how he would have handled him if matched. He replied, ' I'd have taken the first bus out of town !'

The 1976 Junior NABC winners including a teenage Herol Bomber Graham, are pictured with Joe Bugner in Gothenburg, Sweden. The elite young boxers would join the “Joe Bugner Scholarship” with Joe taking tournament winners on tours of Norway, Sweden & Hungary. How many can you name?

@LDNBOXHISTORY Fourth from left of Joe Bugner, that wouldn't be Chris Sanigar, would it ?
English
@LDNBOXHISTORY Not sure I recognise this fine-looking young man. Doesn't look anything like my reflection in the mirror now.

World Middleweight Champion Alan Minter signs copies of his book “Minter, An Autobiography” in April 1980.

@mrmarkdolan At last Mark, you've accepted where you've gone wrong. I'm guessing you've been following and listening to @TitaniaMcGrath, the one true and sensible seer of our time. When will she stand for election ?
