James Degale vs Vepkhia TchilaiaHello I'm not able to respond to any of your comments at the moment for some reason. So I'm not ignoring you there just isn't a facility to post on an ongoing thread - I have to start a new one each time. Anyway loved the boxing although I did wince everytime someone got hit. I was expecting the arena to smell of perspiration and middle-aged men - it didn't. A colleague had warned me that boxing was a "dark, chauvinistic world". I was only there for a couple of hours but noone treated me any differently to the men I was working with.

James Degale's fight went the distance and the crowd started to get impatient in the third round. His opponent from Georgia was dogged and prepared to take a load of punches before starting to fight back.

Degale won but was rather defensive in his post-match interview with me and Sky...because of the crowd reaction he asked "what do people want?"...
