The interview with Tommy's widow is on Facebook later tonight from boxing tv at 7pm.
A few people discussed Paul Sykes a while ago. I was watching some boxing and came across this, thought I would share it
Paul Sykes
Sad story really, misspent youth and upbringing sadly. There are a few chapters

Met him a couple of times , a bloody lunatic , much better fighter out of the ring than in. That was world in action programme i think , Still holds the record of fighting for a title after only 8 pro fights, turned his back in that against john l gardner.True hard man who feared no one, his son is a lifer infact both his sons i think.There is a film being made about him due for release next year.

Seen that fight Jeff where he turns his back on him. You can't help think his mental scars held him back and messed him up, sad really
Bit of a rebel in the area that was for sure. Ruled by the fist and not to be messed with, from a fighting perspective, I respect that

Agree, Campbell is a very good, experienced and talented boxer. Could turn out to be a very good fight!
I hope Campbell wins
Cmon LC

I thought he turned his back on him when he realised his best just wasnt knocking him down and he wasnt going to win and he was blowing and out of steam and getting beaten up
his trainer said he wouldnt do the gym work and it showed

Exactly that Gerry, he quit. Turn your back in a fight and it's over. I thought Pulev was close to getting it stopped in the Joshua fight, he turned his back and walked away in one of the rounds!

Gutting to hear that all British boxing has been banned this month.

Nice one
Interesting fight, brilliant shot by Campbell in the 3rd was it, could have ended embarrassing that
Looks good Garcia. Not sure about the planted feet, looking to land the powerful shots, and he got hit a lot for me. Needs to up his game, there is some proper talent in that division
For me Davis tops the lot but it's VERY close, some good fights on there way though
