About Me
I'm a regular contributor to the Huffingon Post, and edit my own political site TheDailyBanter.com. I've written about boxing and Mixed Martial Arts for ESPN, Fox Sports, Black Belt Magazine, Secondsout.com, and Boxing Monthly magazine. I also practice Boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu on a daily basis, so am well aware of what fighters go through. Fighters are amongst the toughest athletes on the planet, and I hope that my writing reflects the utmost respect for them. You won't hear me bash fighters or make snide comments. Anyone who steps into the ring deserves a lot of respect.

Thinking outside the box.
My Current Project
I'm building a political blog network: www.bantermediagroup.com, and have just produced a comedy show.

Sparring several hard rounds with a pro fighter (although he was smaller than me). I also won the U.K University Kick Boxing Championship in 2004.
My Biggest Regret
None so far.

My dad. And Bernard Hopkins. Oh, and Noam Chomsky.

Trying to interview James Toney. He wasn't in a great mood.
How I Pay For This Wardrobe
I didn't. My mum and girlfriend bought all my clothes.
Blocks I've Been Around
Boxing press conferences. They should be banned in my opinion.
Things That Really Happened
9/11. I know people who were there, so please, don't try the whole conspiracy nonsense.
Where I'd Like To Be 10 Years From Now
In a martial arts studio, or on a beach.
Why True/Slant
Brilliant concept, brilliant talent and possibly a revolutionary moment in journalism.
