Thread: Claude Abrams steps down as Boxing News Editor

Apparently he wants to spend more time with his kids.

When I first starting reading Boxing News around 1999 it was a pile of wank and with Claude at the helm has become the best boxing magazine out there, wonder how this will effect the format for the future?

this is a massive shame. any idea who is in the running to take over?

Tris Dixon is the new man in charge.

Thats a shame as Claude seemed to know what he is on about and he is a very aprochable bloke if you ever meet him.

Read his goodbye write up in Boxing Weekly, really good stories of meeting fighters and travelling.

Good, job, he had no more knowledge or insight in to boxing than some on here but he had an open forum, hes the reason I stopped buying the mag 2 years ago

I used to see him on the Underground every morning as he lived in my manor, very approachable and a nice fella who knows his shit backwards

BIG Loss for the mag.

Was a bit gutted at Tris Dixon taking over. I assumed the Mag would pull someone in.

Ah well, time will tell.
