It's all "last times" now re. Boxing Monthly. My last column is on how and why, in the short term, "studio boxing" is the way forward, (but only when some sort of normality is restored in our lives).

For those who have been asking, on-sale date for final issue of Boxing Monthly is Thursday April 30. (People looking to grab it as a collector's item?)

For so many years of our 30 year history Glyn Leach was the driving force behind Boxing Monthly magazine. He meant so much to so many people. Tributes written after his tragically early passing can be accessed here boxingmonthly.com/glyn-leach/gly…

You can read and view @safesideOTR’s classic top ten Boxing Monthly magazine covers article here boxingmonthly.com/stories/the-10…

Some absolutely classic BM covers on Ronnie’s page! Check ‘em out!

Watched the show in Nicaragua tonight. With social distancing in the arena, cornermen wearing face masks, ring girl and MC wearing face masks, it looked a bit odd — but it seemed to work. (Fans given temperature checks on entering arena.)

Nicaragua seems to have same system as Mexico for local fights; if a boxer doesn't come out for a round he's counted out seated on his stool. This happened in the Freddy Fonseca fight when opponent gave up after 4 rounds, counted out when bell went for 5th.

If at first you don't succeed ... Byron Castellon couldn't beat Eliezer Gazo in 6 meetings — 4 losses by decision with a draw and a "no decision" in there. Tonight the improved Castellon used movement, hand speed to win a unan. 6-round decision in 7th clash.

Doing research today, reminded of something Emanuel Steward once told me: "Corrie Sanders is probably the most dangerous one-round fighter in heavyweight history." Emanuel always wanted to train Wlad, thought the 2-round loss to Sanders "one of those things".

People forget what a huge upset it was when Corrie Sanders KO'd Wladimir Klitschko. Sanders was 37 and seemed more interested in being a pro golfer than a fighter. He'd had 3 fights in the past 3 years. But Corrie came out fast (as usual); Wlad. got caught.

Our final issue is now in AppStore and available for online ordering and in shops from tomorrow. And who better to feature on the final cover than The Greatest and his greatest rival?

In 2018, to mark 100 years since the WW1 Armistice, I told the tragic tale of "Toodles" Corri, son of famed ref Gene Corri, for Boxing Monthly At the time we had no photo but last night, by chance, I found the one below. An excuse to revisit the tale... boxingmonthly.com/stories/a-gian…

RIP Boxing Monthly. A dear old friend. Boxing Monthly #boxingmonthly

Looks like our website has finally died. Farewell BM online.

We still exist somewhere in the shadows. Thanks for the love ❤️

The good old days... How I lived writing for BM!

Worth a quote tweet from the hidden land where BM still resides …

We are still alive 😉

Hearing the BM name has new and great owners so it’s goodbye from me… maybe see y’all around sometime.
