Ian Wright really is an absolute gentleman. Telling Nev to keep the shirt on after the banter at the beginning when he said he'd lost his confidence to wear it, proper salt of the earth, caring bloke.

The thing that makes this show and the panel so great is that despite these guys all being legends of their craft, famous, successful, however you want to describe it.

People call Eddie the silver spoon kid, probably always will. But you can't deny that he's carved his own path, massively expanded what once was a small regional boxing promotion into the new leading international promotion (since showtime have decided to close doors). But he's the perfect face of a promotion, personable, cutt throat, blunt, but not nasty. He has ten times more humility than his peers like Oscar De La Hoya, Bob Arum... Even Dana White has been downright evil and shady! Wonder when he'll manage to get Carra VS Neville signed though 😂
