WELCOME to a new era for Boxing News. A sincere thank you to Matt Christie for nine years in the editorial hotseat and his fine contribution to the world’s oldest sports weekly. We wish Matt the best in his future endeavours.
If you are reading these words, boxing is either your passion, profession or both.
No sport delivers more drama and thrills than our sport in its most stirring moments. The great fights are etched into our minds; we rewind and relive them in perpetuity.
Every writer’s journey starts with an opportunity and I would not be here but for Harry Mullan. Back in editor of 19 years gave me my break in the sport. I was a wide-eyed, twenty-something, fresh out of journalism college with an unwavering passion for boxing. Harry saw something in me and my career in the fight game launched as a staff writer at ’ old offices in Poland Street, bang-smack in the middle of London, three swift jabs away from the bustle of Oxford Street.
