No hassle, the tournament never took place however, which was a pity. I believ it had something to do with television licensing or something

It's a shame it never got fully got off the floor.It sounded like good future prospect.I guess it never got off due to licence rights or some kind of goverment boardcasting law or just a simple matter of not enough ££££s involved,never mind.Lets hope that the U.K version has better foundation,which im 100% certain it will have.Im really looking forward to the event.Look out for David Dolan in the tournament.He has got a unbeaten record and is doing great at the moment as pro after he left being a rugby player for his local team WEST HARTLEPOOL.He could win it out right.

I will, thanks for the heads up!
I guess it was a problem with the original, in organising to have all those world class fighters free and trained at the same time too.

Yvonne please don't hate me but unfortunatley good (even half way good) heavweights from our part of the country are about as frequent as a sandstorm in Byker .

I hope this guy is as good as you say and wins the whole thing - what a boost for boxing in the North East that would be - I'll be rooting for him 110 %

Now then mate good to hear some feedback on the Heavyweight K.O Tournament.I can understand your view on the subject that our Heavyweight Division prospects in the country is rather poor at this moment in time and has been for a number of years,not to mention the poor tallent scattered across the rest of world.It has to change round some how!This tournament wont be a fast fix to the problem in the ranks,but if it's supported in the right manner in the right direction then it could at least be a good solid foundation to the divison other here.It's a good idea,it can only do better carnt it??I hope DOLAN wins.He's got the tools and power to do so.

Hi there everyone!I just like to share a brief notification on the New up and coming U.K Heavyweight K.O Tournament that starts on the 11th of April.I have found out that whichever boxer wins the Tournament will win £25,000.Im hoping it'll be David Dolan,due to him having a good record as well as being from the north-east,which i'am from too!Dont forget U.K boxing fans that the Tournament is live from the famous York Hall down in London and it's also live on Sky Sports1 from 9pm.It should be interesting.Enjoy!
