Romford

I just sit in a car and go where they tell me.

If it's Tuesday, it must be Romford.

That's it.

I

My cat took one look at him, decided a strange man had moved in without consultation, and has not forgiven us since.

Given the cat was born in Romford, we suspect this may be less about the cutout and more about deep-seated West Ham loyalties finally surfacing."

[laughs]

"Anyway, Mikel now watches over my flat with the same intense, slightly worried expression he has on the touchline every match day.

it a fight you still want to see, Johnny? Well, of course, and I think it's one of them fights which transcends the normal boxing public.

If you walk down the street and you ask people in Romford, well, I'm looking over now to maybe two heavyweight boxers from the UK or two boxers in general, Fury and Joshua are going to be on the top of their list.

top of their list and that's where we sometimes have to come out of the boxing bubble and realise that these guys and the brand they've built and their charisma and the image they've got it sort of transcends the inner bubble of boxing and 90% of people walking down the street there won't care about where it is or what's going on they just want to see the fight happen so we have to look at it within that context as well

So, you've got a fight up and coming, haven't you, at the Copper Box in London, 26th? Belgian opponent, Michael Piraton.

And I'm Beth from the county of Essex.

I'm called Romford.

That is

where I'm from.

Yeah.

West Ham, Romford, that'll be Chompsett, Romford, Billericay, Basildon, all round there, they're all going to be West Ham, because you go in on the A12, and the first place you come to is West Ham.

If you go around the West, even so Fraser's parents are around Windsor, pretty much if you come in from the bottom, from the West of London, you're going to come across, we'll probably go past Fulham first, but basically Chelsea.

So

They wanted the encompass too much.

It goes, it goes to Rom- from Romford all the way to Oxford Street.

All the way to...

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You know, they go, where's that? And you have to explain, oh, it's near this.

It's near Romford.

Okay.

And it's such like just a place where you just are.

So I was number two.

And for me, it was such a big thing.

And I remember at Romford Market, I went to go see my granddad.

And some fan came up to me, Romford, again, a big thing because, you know, it's like the working class town.
