Ricky & Chubby: hat trick © Paul Speak

Tuesday, May 20

It's starting to get busy now lots of people calling at the last minute for tickets.

Some people always leave it to the death and when its nearly a sell-out already, that makes it even harder to .

I got confirmation that Marco Antonio Barrera is arriving on Thursday he is a great mate of mine and we always try and get to each other's fights. Now, he is a legend.

I had a few visitors to the gym today. Roy 'Chubby' Brown, possibly one of the greatest comedians to ever come out of this country in my opinion, came to see me at the gym and what a really nice bloke he is.

I have to say that when I do the after-dinner speaches I nick a couple fo his gags! Another legend. Roy is another one who likes a daft hat. You know what they say... "If you can't fight, wear a daft hat!"

Paulie Malignaggi arrived in England today so that's all the main fighters for Saturday night here.

Talking of fighters, Jamie Moore called into the gym to see me today and we went over some of the great times we have had together.. He is talking about coming out to Tenerife with me and our Matt when I go to do some dinner shows in August.

Tuesday is physio day. I can't say that I will miss my arm being tweaked by Stuart Cosgrove, when I eventually call it a day! Stuart has just got back from his holiday. He went to America chasing Twisters and tornados. Now that is a holiday... wow!

Talking of holidays I will be away soon with all the family. I think it will be a trip to America first then we will see what we can fit in afterwards.
