Some are calling it the ‘Battle of Nandos’ while others ‘Chicken Gate’. It’s seems to be the big story this morning in the boxing world and one that has caused a stir.
Some have made reference to the whole joke aspect of it, while others have pointed to the whole thing as being childish.
Whatever your view might be, this outside the ring melee has definitely made this weekend’s proceedings in boxing a bit bigger.
Such is the hype-driven era in boxing we now live in.
Here’s some of the reaction this morning from around the world of boxing to last night’s strange happenings in Belfast:
Tyson Fury, John Fury, Deontay Wilder, Billy Joe Saunders and a quarter lemon & herb, all in Belfast at the same time. You can’t make this stuff up.
