We can't wait to see Giant, the new film about Naseem Hamed's career and relationship with Brendan Ingle in Sheffield. Bendigo tried to develop boxing in Sheffield 140 years before Ingle, with less success though. Here's our feature https://t.co/W5W3I9z0g1

ā€œI’ve had 17 stitches. I truly never believed anybody could do what he did to me. After the fight I had a couple of Cokes and then looked in the mirror. I said ā€œGod Almighty!!ā€ I didn’t know fighters could look like this. That Marvin Hagler is an artist in there!!ā€ - Tony Sibson
