Film on Errol's life is on the cards

Our spies tell us that two million pounds is in the pipeline to back a film based in part round the life of Errol Christie.  It will also feature the music of The Specials - a band from Errol's home town Coventry.  Christie is reported to be very chuffed by the money being lined up by the movie industry.  The question is - who is going to play him?  And more to the point - who would play Mark Kaylor!

Errol Christie launches new website

Former middleweight champ, European champ and England's first black boxing captain (correct me if I'm wrong there) Errol Christie has finally re-launched his website. You can find it here at http://errolchristie.com/www.errolchristie.com/Welcome.html

The all round nice guy of British boxing seems to have been doing some anti-gun and knife crime stuff in the schools - mainly south London. Two of his own brothers ended up behind bars because they want down the wrong path so this is obviously a subject close to Errol's heart. He's determined to keep the kids on the straight and narrow. I met him recently and he said he was sickened by all this talk about 'bling' and 'respect' which leads to kids pulling knives on each other.

His book is out in March next year and my publishing mole tells me the front cover has already been designed. I'm also informed by my mole that Waterstone's are taking quite an interest in Errol's pull no punches biog. Can't wait to see the end result!
