Is this the bloke that supports Rovers and City?
Might support him and the other boxer.

Duane 'The Gasman' Winters also fighting on the undercard. Likes to sport his Blue & White Rovers shorts in his fights.
Not sure on the reception given that he's fighting in Whitchurch though...

Serious question, but as Lee Haskins is fighting for the interim IBF World Bantamweight Title this evening, then should he win will he become the IBF Bantamweight titleholder . . . or is the interim version regarded as a halfway-house, and not the full version?
The reason that I am asking is because until this morning when I saw the fight listed, I thought from the advance publicity that he was fighting to become the IBF World Bantamweight champion. Now I'm undecided.

Now I'm undecided. An interim title fight can occur when the champion has been injured and unable to defend for a length of time. Rather than have an inactive title they have an intrrim champ. The winner would then fight thr champ on their return or perhaps upgrsded to full champ in the original champ has to quit of is stripped. Make sense? |

When compared to the Pythagorean Theorem it's relatively easy to understand. Long live the IBF.  |

When compared to the Pythagorean Theorem it's relatively easy to understand. Long live the IBF. Quite a lot of fight organisations use interim titles. UFC utilise it a lot because guys get injured and.it helps set up a PPV match down the road and generates money However the WBC have tried crating millions of belts by having Silver champs, Diamonds champs and a load of other carp |

Randy Caballero is the champ but is injured. He will have s further 3 months to recover or be stripped. |

Lee Haskins is a top guy who puts in so much work. He said he supported both clubs, absolute oddball statement. He may be a top guy who has put in work but I'd like both boxers to win tonight. |

As we established about a month ago, Lee's not really into football, but realises that his fan base will probably sit either side of the red/blue divide. Good luck Lee. |

Why not just say he has no interest in football instead of claiming to support both. Just a baffling statement. |

Yeh, but for those of us who only support one club it would be obvious if someone says they support both clubs they have no interest in the finer things of life  |

Pretty sure that the guy he is fighting is in fact a waiter at Cathay Rendezvous ...
Slow feet and reactions gave it away in the end !
