I met Manny Pacquiao at Calasiao, Pangasinan Cockpit Arena in the Philippines. He had over 50 entries (fighting roosters). It was 3 days and 3 nights event. National Derby what they called.
I didn't even know he was gonna be there. We just shoke hands and that's pretty much about it.

I said 'hello' to sugar ray after the Contender... spoke to Jesse Brinkly a bit too. Anthony Small was at the after party but I didn't really speak to him that much, he'd been sparring a lad I know from Hylton Castle ABC and he was talking to him.
Met Glenn Mcory a few times, he got put in hospital after visiting a pub near me - he tried to break up a fight between a load of charvas and ended up getting smacked in the back with a road sign... :s He used to come into the Cinema a bit when I worked there and he's phoned me up on one occasion trying to make me fight one of his lads when I had a near broken wrist! :P Was also at the Contender V.I.P. party.
I'm guessing he was pissed during at least 50% of these occasions... he likes to put it away... good bloke though, my brother saw him out on the town - said some incomprehensible stuff to him and gave him a bear hug! :P
Met Henry Cooper at a book signing, I wasn't actually boxing at the time but was telling him that I was also an identical twin - I have to admit I didn't start boxing because Our 'Enry told me too... :-/
Met Micheal Jennings at a boxing show almost 2 years ago as well... again spot on kid.
Oh and I saw - I think it was Paul Smith getting KNOCKED back from the V.I.P. party too - because he had his team UK tracksuit on... madness! :P
