Off to watch Matthew Hatton in action this coming Friday at The Blackpool Tower Circus. Maybe not the most glamorous of boxing events, but my first time watching boxing live and I can't wait!

Has anyone been to the venue before? Can you have a drink whilst watching more importantly? Smile

Cheers

Neil

I've not been there, but there isn't much to rival a live boxing event, and hopefully you enjoy it!

At places like the MEN Arena in Manchester you can't drink once in the seating area, but I'm not sure if that will be different in Blackpool.

Am I right in saying that this is for the IBF World title?

No, Jan Zavek is the current IBF World champion.

It is lunacy.

The UBO will hopefully sort things out.

The commentary is funny on Eurosport. Has anyone noticed its always about 3 seconds behind?
