| 0:00.0 | I would like to say that I've lost a few, so I had about, I think the biggest stable |
| 0:04.4 | I've ever had is about 55 fighters. At the minute I've probably got about 30, 35 that's |
| 0:12.6 | active, a fuse under contract, but probably never boxed again. |
| 0:17.4 | Yeah, it was funny really, but I still to this day think that's down to weight. I mean, |
| 0:22.6 | our eyes to me weight back then was just scary. I mean, I'm just, God, I can sit here |
| 0:28.2 | now and talk to you normal and all my faculties are in place because, I mean, what I went |
| 0:33.9 | through to make weight was really scary. I laugh it off really because they brought the |
| 0:41.4 | ratings out one year and I always championed and Floyd Mayer was my manager challenger. |
| 0:46.2 | So you've got a laugh at me, you know, I mean imagine if you'd have accepted the challenge. |
| 0:51.2 | Hello and welcome to Boxing Life Stories with me, Kristix. What happened in the ring after |

| 1:18.9 | Hello and welcome back to Boxing Life Stories. This week, I'm joined by a boxing jack |
| 1:22.9 | of all trades and one of the great guys on the British boxing circuit, Karl Greaves. |
| 1:27.3 | Karl was no mean fighter. He was 32 and seven as a pro and fought some real handfuls |
| 1:32.8 | like Karl Johansson, Alex Arthur, Michael Gomez, but he had a solid career and is now a manager |
| 1:39.0 | promoter and he trains David Avanisium. We've been talking about doing this for a while, |
| 1:44.2 | but I enjoyed seeing Karl at his home in Newark and this is a top trade chat, shining |
| 1:49.4 | a light on the sport at all levels from the big shows all the way through to the small |
