“I’ve had my chin tested by a few size 10 football boots but a boxing glove will be a bit different.”

Size 10? Rio, give it a rest :lol:

Rio's been called out by Jamie Peacock (ex Leeds and GB rugby league player - hard as nails) to fight at the First Direct Arena in Leeds next year for charity. This is going to end in tears for Rio.

Fights like a right twat, IMO. No head movement, heavy feet, straight-arm punches, off-balance swipes.

Was in the boxing gym yesterday teaching/sparring with these young whipper snappers how easy it is to punch me in the head now, and they didn't stop when I called feign lights either...

Got talking with the trainer (old mate) and I mentioned Rio, he basically said that in between the expletives that this is the last thing boxing needs right now, and Rio against a bang average professional boxer could get hurt, pretty much what many have said. So I hope he does not jump in the ring properly, and I certainly hope he does not do a Freddie Flintoff thing for SKY.
