Heads of criminal drugs gangs definitely need to be given more scope to tell 'their side of the story'. What a f*cking idiot.

Bob Arum having a “Road to Damascus” moment with lads from OTB

Be no harm if the WBC would have one.
“I also met Daniel Kinahan, who is advisor and manager of boxers. A man who has been labelled as a person linked to criminal groups.

“I had a fascinating and insightful talk with him, confirmed by the testimonies of many boxers, who express their admiration and gratitude for the unconditional support he has given them, which has allowed them to significantly improve their lives.

Boxing is full of crooks & scumbags at the very top. Unfortunately the mob has had a big hand in running it for the last 100 years.

The 5 sanctioning bodies that I know of are the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF & IBO with each president in somebody’s pocket. Also for the fans ask, Who is the real champion of the world. This is why UFC has taken over from boxing because Dana can give the fans the fights that they want to see whereas boxing is a known joke for the opposite. Also the various bodies are aligned with certain US TV stations. It’s a mess & I can’t see it changing which turns many people off the sport.

What fight would you like to see that hasn't happened?

There's only a few for me. I genuinely think lessons have been learned.
