    I'm always going to ask for fights to be made in England, Crawford v Spence? I'll take that in England, its just easier for me, I don't care where the fighters are from.

    Having said that Groves v Smith is 2 Brits and that is being fought in Saudi Arabia, I can't remember the last time that 2 people from the same country took a fight somewhere like that.

    Tyson v Douglas in Tokyo or Ali v Foreman in Zaire are the only 2 that instantly come to mind.
    Definitely a weird choice having the Groves fight in Saudi Arabia.

    Ali v Foreman was before I was born and I think I was 4 or 5 for Tyson v Douglas.

    Thinking Superman v General Zod (both Krypton born) in New York City which was a classic 80s war.

    1 year before I was born but I was force fed that fight by my older brother and his mates as a kid and was forced to 'reinact it with them many times with gloves on in the garden 👊🏻
