Hell Hath No Fury… Is The Gypsy King about to reclaim his crowns?

01/07/2018 John Hoolan

The supposed return of Tyson Fury to boxing has taken well over two years, his return to a boxing ring may well take longer or it might not even happen at all. However Fury is nothing if not the king of getting the media, via social media into a frenzy and everyone seems to have an opinion on him and what he should do next.

Hughie Fury – A Reflection Of His Cousin?

11/10/2017 John Hoolan

There has been a lot of talk over the last few days about the best current heavyweight boxer and who that may be. Some think it’s Joshua, whilst others champion the causes of Wilder and Parker.

My Thoughts On David Price’s Future

02/08/201702/07/2017 John Hoolan

David Price fell victim to his 4th pro defeat on Saturday night against Christian Hammer. Hammer was down in the 5th, yet sadly the almost 20 stone Price couldn’t make the most of that and “gassed”, so that Hammer was able to stop him on his feet in the 7th round. Price was visibly finished, so much so, that he really struggled to get up off his stool in the corner, a good 3 – 4 minutes after the fight.

Tony Bellew Vs Marco Huck – Who Would Win?

11/21/2016 John Hoolan

Bellew isn’t the man at cruiserweight despite what he thinks..

Bellew seems to think Marco Huck is “Captain Birdseye” as opposed to his moniker of “Käpt’n”. Little ironic from Bellew who has the moniker of “Bomber”, and is always talking about his power.
