I just find it hilarious that Joe Parker, David Nykia and SBW are all hanging out training with Tyson Fury in some old school seaside town in the UK, going on penny arcades int heir free time and eating fish and chips. Such a bizzare but wholesome situation.

Frank Warren said the other day they will never fight, too good mates now.

Parker said at one point they would fight if it was a title fight, but has since changed his mind. Good chance for JP to get quality sparring, not only with Fury but others in his camp. I call it the mini Kronk gym. Except those guys were in shape in Detroit. Basement of a building with only a couple of fans. HOT.

We're you impressed with JP in Chisora 2 die? I thought ye looked the best I've seen him in years

[diehard]

Very impressed. Yep, best he's looked in years. Combinations, uppercut, jab, not leading with his head, all good. Now I want him to fight guys in the top 10 and keep up the momentum.

Between Two Beers podcast: The inside story of the 'Fight of the Century'

NZ Herald

Shane Cameron was one of New Zealand's best boxers who retired from boxing in 2014 with a professional record of 29 wins and five losses.

Between Two Beers charts his journey from the tiny village of Tiniroto, near Gisborne all the way to sparring the "baddest man on the planet" Mike Tyson, the Fight of the Century with David Tua, and his world title shot against Danny Green after cutting 16kgs in three months.

Raw, open and honest with some knockout stories despite only picking up the sport seriously at the age of 20.
