Spoke to someone quite well connected in the boxing world the other evening, he had a sound piece of advice for young Luke.
Stay with his existing management, get a good accountant, a good solicitor and keep the Hearn family at arms length, and he won't go far wrong.
I think getting to Mansfield in December 1999, no one in the car having the sense to turn our phones on, and finding out from Tom Watt ( He of Albert Square fame) on Talk Sport that the game was off 🙈
