By Gary Webster: The biggest prize in world sport has been lost, undervalued and under appreciated for as long as any casual fan of the ”the sweet science” can care to remember. Heavyweight boxing was a prestige, a mantle in which all tradesman, of all courses aspired to test or regard themselves against.
II was at benchmark not only of a persons talent, but their desire to test themselves to the limit in what is ”the hurt game”.
The heavyweight division in Britain, once again has the boxing purists and carefree fans buzzing with the eagerly anticipated dust up of David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) vs Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) pitched in a battle of what we would call a dire straights. All credit to Mark Knofler for his supreme gift.
