WOULD this tour be happening – would you be friends like you are – if he’d won that night at Wembley?
If I’d have lost, it’d probably have been my last fight – I’d have finished my career on a loss. Would George be doing this tour if that was his last fight? Probably not. The same way I probably wouldn’t have. But he was young enough to go and eventually win a world title, so he got his defining moment away from Wembley. If I’d have lost and not fought again, would I have got over it and thought, “He’s all right, I’ll go on tour with him”? Maybe not. I do it for my website and to give the fans something back, and I enjoy it. Would I enjoy sitting there listening to me getting chinned in front of 80,000 at Wembley a million times? No, I don’t think I would. It’s hard to empathise and put myself in that position. But I can understand why George is doing it, because it wasn’t his last fight and he had a decent career after.
