Thoughts on the subjectivity of judging Boxing 🥊 Matches - in the wake of UK 🇬🇧 outrage following draw in Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury.

Few thoughts on Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury. And the magical appeal of uncertainty, unknowns and ?s I’m Boxing 🥊 and in life.

Spent the weekend in Monaco 🇲🇨 hosting a boxing 🥊 event. Thoughts here.

Fascinating chat with the first pro boxer with type 1 diabetes to awarded a pro license. Muhammad Ali had to fight for it though. Compelling and courageous young man who boxes next in Manchester November 17. You send now he’s won his right to fight, the boxing will be an easier part of the journey. Let me know what you think.

Had a long phone conversation with Tony Bellew ahead of his challenge to Oleksandr Usyk, the Cruiserweight king, this weekend. Few thoughts here. Wrote a piece, which you can read here too: https://www.givemesport.com/1412429-tony-bellew-exclusive-i-can-shock-the-world-against-oleksandr-usyk

Seen a fair bit of vitriolic judgement flying around re Amir Khan after his WIN v Samuel Vargas. People getting very dismissive of Khan after a knock down and angry about his possibly choosing NOT to fight Kell Brook next. Thoughts on whether this is A) respectful and B) healthy to hold others in this righteous fury - particularly a former Olympic silver medalist and World Champion.

I really enjoyed talking boxing & life with Tony Bange. Tony had to put his blossoming boxing career on hold due to illness in his family. Some insight into the mindset required to make it in Sport plus also the life enhancing skills Tony has gained from competing. His return comes September 8th, York Hall, London.

Few thoughts on the PL opening weekend. The clamour for new players but the reality & complexity of fitting a new team. Does Football’s fascination with buying, and a sense of not having enough, reflect society? Get in touch with your thoughts - @eddraper81 on twitter.

Huddersfield and USA player Danny Williams talking football, life and the need for a relaxed, optimistic mindset in both.

Kiko Rodriguez had a lifelong career in the motor industry, but after shocked by what he witnessed his footballing son, Jay Rodriguez ( England international player) decided to open up an ethical agency. Interesting service station chat on some of the practices he’s seen and what he believes an agent/intermediary’s role should be.
