Well, as that note in the last blog indicated, the big fight is off. Which is too bad.

Apparently, according to the legal department of The Sun’s parent company, there are two big problems with this fight - a massive increase in our workers’ comp should I be injured is one. The other is pretty strange (I’d insult it, but I don’t want to be sued). Apparently, I can be sued if I hurt someone too badly in the ring of a boxing tournament where the goal is to hurt someone badly. And, by extension, the paper can be sued.

So instead, we’ll be following David Encias. He’s never competed in a boxing tournament before, although he has been training for years. Like me, he’s in the heavyweight division. Unlike me, he knows what he’s doing.

So keep an eye out for updates.
