The only sport that we at Wasted Inches hate more than football is boxing. It’s amazing that a sport like that is even legal. It’s very galling, therefore, to see that every tabloid front page today is about two grown men being paid obscene amounts of money to beat each other up. And we call ourselves civilised.

I have no idea at all who the two men were or what the bout was about. I do know, however, that the tabloids’ love affair with boxing doesn’t seem to have diminished one bit. It’s appalling.
