By Tony Crooks: First of all, I am English and I am proud of my heritage and no comment will ever take that away from me, full stop. Despite this, boxing is about boxing and boxers are about boxers. If a boxer is good and he comes from Outer Mongolia or the North Pole, so what, too much emphasis is put on where a pugilist is born. Whether he is white, black, yellow or orange it does not matter to me, all that interests me is the skills that they possess.
Heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) beat Audley Harrison at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, UK and that was what was expected of him. I don’t care what anyone says, Wilder proved absolutely nothing. If he was British, I would say the same thing. What I am unable to understand are the keyboard cowards that make comments.
