One night in Bolton with Amir Khan, Audley Harrison and Deontay Wilder
A day with Joe Gallagher and co. in Amir Khan s gym brought to mind a hectic evening from eight years ago, writes Steve Bunce
IN Bolton last week Joe Gallagher had his scrapbooks from when he was a boy, a battered bundle of clippings and pictures and faded photographs of too many long-forgotten men. He handled the pages and pictures like a child with a new puppy.
I was in Bolton at Amir Khan’s gym for a few hours to interview Callum Johnson for BT Sport and it was a glorious reminder of just how crazy a busy gym can be; Scott Quigg was there with his new six-foot Slovenian welter, Ant Crolla was there with his new hope from Wigan, Paul Butler was hitting Joe’s flashing lights, Tasha Jonas was going over moves, Gallagher was wandering like a General through the maze.
