On the 23rd of March a man called Boris told us to stay in our mum's bedroom and lock the door or else.
This obviously meant no sport including our beloved boxing!

Then on March 28th a man called Eddie (boxing promoter chap) released a video in which he promised NHS workers 200 free tickets per show when boxing returned!! What a lovely man.

NHS workers loved this announcement.
The general public heaped massive praise on Eddie.
The announcement was given huge media coverage!!!!
And more media coverage....
Months past as we all waited for fans being allowed back at boxing and those hard working NHS workers to be rewarded.
In the meantime Eddie wrote a book about himself.

Boxing started again in Eddie's back garden and in empty studios.
A man called Dillian was knocked out cold.

Then the news we were all waiting for!!! Fans were allowed back!!!
News made it's way to our NHS heroes. FREE TICKETS!!!
Oh, hold on?
What? No 200 free tickets for NHS workers apparently? £1000 for top end ticket, just short of a months wage for some of Eddie's hero workers.
NHS workers and punters seemed a bit angry with Eddie.
I'm confused?
So Eddie looks as though he's lied unless we've missed something?
Maybe it was "not enough notice" or "NHS staff still fighting pandemic" or "Logistically wasn't possible" or "Not right time" or "Promise it will happen"...
Amazing the boxing media are ignoring this isn't it.
