 Whoever builds his life on reality, on material things, on success ... builds it on sand.” Whilst it’s rare that I find myself quoting the Pope I couldn’t agree more with this view that he expressed a couple of months ago - especially in the context of City boys who often base their confidence on the foundations represented by their career.

 So, last week I was taken hostage by some paramilitaries in Africa. I was forcibly marched into an isolated hut on the edge of a clearing in the bush and then blindfolded and made to lie on my front with my hands tied behind my back. Twenty minutes later three helicopters landed nearby and a bunch of paratroopers began a deafening fire fight with my assailants. The soldiers then stormed my hut and my captors surrendered. I was bundled into a helicopter which immediately flew me to freedom. Lying powerless on the floor, unable to see and hearing only gunfire and angry shouting was one of the more scary experiences I’ve had to endure … even though I knew it was just an exercise and that the bullets were blanks.

My great uncle Silas was a simple man and he only ever gave me two pieces of advice: if she leaves her knickers on the floor for three days then don’t marry her and, that when it came to boxing, you should never bet on the white guy. However, when I was down at a boxing club called ‘The Real Fight Club’ in Shoreditch last week all I saw being trained up were white guys … and City boys at that.
