You Just Can\’t Leave Jono Out

ByBoxing Press 08/12/2005

W.B.F. World Lightweight Champion, Jon Thaxton will demonstrate his power and technique during a four round exhibition of pad work at this Sunday’s first ever professional boxing promotion at the Lava & Ignite nightclub. Jono who came up with the idea said “Although I’m really pleased that Earl, Jacko and Sam are boxing here in Norwich, if I am honest I am also a little envious by the fact that a professional boxing show is being held here in Norwich and I won’t be on it.”During the last couple of weeks I have hit unbelievable form in the hope of boxing on a big televised show later on this month, but now it all appears to have been nothing more than a pipedream. “The hardest battle in boxing is the politics and that’s a fact.”Michael Gomez is all talk and appears to have strung us along for several weeks and that’s after giving me a verbal bashing in public. “He’s got no bottle that’s for sure and now it appears I am stuck in limbo.”Anyway come Sunday this won’t be just any old pads exhibition, this one is going to be explosive and Graham will need to take some pain killers afterwards. “I’ll be doing it to loud music full of pent up energy which will describe just how I, Jon Thaxton feel right now’.

The show that features three of Norwich’s other finest professional boxers, being billed as ‘The Three Kings’, will also have former superstar of boxing Dave ‘Boy’ Green at ringside.

Sunday Dec 11th @ LAVA & Ignite, Riverside Road, Norwich.

Doors open to the public at 3p.m. Tickets may still be available on the door.

£15 tickets still available from Sportlink 01603 868606. Only a few VIP’s at £30 left….(6 left).

  • Old classic scrap I just found- Mckinney v Jones 14/11/2026
    I happened to stumble upon a short but excellent super bantamweight classic war between Kennedy McKinney vs Junior Jones for the WBO title at that weight. I didn’t know it was such a short-war and a classic little scrap. That is worth every second of those four rounds. lolol… JUNIOR JONES VS KENNEDY MCKINNEY 5 posts - 2 participants Read full topic […]

  • Is Teddy Atlas "overrated?" 10/11/2026
    Is he? is he just a lot of hot air and his boxing takes are full of gibberish? i never was head over heels about Atlas, to be honest. I find him to be someone who is just a part of the fraternity of the sport, and not some wise sage like Manny Steward or even a Stacey McKinkley- who is really wise in the sport. What is your take on Atlas? Just a loudmouth wi […]

  • Two fights this weekend 03/11/2026
    Another clash unnecessarily created by promoters. I hate when they do this and should have done it another week. Which is better?

  • Anybody else here found Moorer v Botha a very good fight? 02/11/2026
    For some reason, this obscure heavyweight title fight ranks up there as one of my favourite fights… anybody else here remember seeing it? It does not rank up there with one of the classics, but it had its great moments and an enjoyable watch.MOORER v BOTHA (TKO) NOV 9th 1996 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic […]
  • Usyk v Benavidez 01/11/2026
    The rumour is that the heavyweight champion Usyk is willing to go down to cruiserweight and face David Benavedez for the undisputed title! Usyk confirmed the fight yesterday. This is a crazy move for him because it has Roy Jones car crash all over it. Also what about poor Jai Opetia. Boxing is going crazy. 16 posts - 8 participants Read full topic […]
  • Daniel Dubois v Joseph Parker 30/10/2026
    These two could face one another 30th January 2027. They were due to face one another before Dubois pulled out at the last minute. Parker will not have fought in 15 months since he lost to Fabio Wardley and was banned for using cocaine. Dubois will be fighting after destroying Wardley this month so he is keeping very busy. Dubois would be better waiting for […]
