The toughest white guy on the planet!

I doubt many will have heard about him having such a short pro career, but I thought I'd start this thread anyway about an Irish Heavyweight named Joe Egan.

I real good friend of mine works with Joe's wife, whom I met last week. She kindly got me a signed pic from Joe of him standing next to Mike Tyson. Underneath the pic it says, 'Joe Egan, The toughest white guy on the planet' By Mike Tyson.
