Sorry, I thought you meant heavyweight champion. Villa Park could well be the answer.

I've only kept it in my head because it's a nice little additional claim to fame, if true.

(Just had a daydream about Jack Johnson fighting at VP. That would've been great - and probably achievable.)

I was surprised to discover that Muhammad Ali fought Alvin Lewis at Croke Park in 1972. It's the subject of a documentary, 'When Ali Came to Ireland' which first aired in 2012. It also surprised me that Ali's great-grandfather came from County Clare.

Nope, but it sounded like a procession.

Yeah, I've seen that, very good documentary. He charmed the Irish crowds better than he did the English, alright.

Haven't seen the documentary, must look out for it.

For the third time. He should get a life ban.

Gutted I like a good domestic tear up.
It’s not his first drugs failure is it?

He’s finished now , and quite rightly.

Boxing really doesn’t help itself sometimes
