Alsothe children who thought Santa existed were chuffed with there top of
the range clothes and gifts which had been given to them on Christmas
morning, however the family men were still recovering from all the debts
that they owed to the manipulating bills and presents they could not
afford. To make things worse they were also recovering from the hangovers
which had been given to them from the brothers in laws and their obsession
always to drink vodka on every celebration. It was a time of year they
hated and despised however were hiding it to keep the children happy and
keep safe from the desperate wifes bellowing down their ears. They were
now looking forward to nothing except a financial disaster for the new
year on the other hand they were still praying for one thing. That the
conference in the morning for the big boxing fight between Lewis Carters
and James Husky went well and the fight was to go forward.
By now it
was eight o clock, paparazzi were outside the queens park palace waiting
for Lewis Carters to arrive at the conference. He would often do this to
build suspense in the atmosphere and get all the people from his home
town, Brooklyn, to cheer him on when he got there. James Husky was already
in the building., he was Lewis Carters opponent and is the heavy weight
champion. He has been fighting professional for 25 years and has been
undefeated since he had the belt-he has had eight fights since he had had
won the title and has either knocked his opponents out within the first
two rounds or they have got so hurt in the fight from his deadly
combinations of punches that the coaches and trainers have thrown in the
towel. It was going to be the best fight since Muhammad Ali and Joe
Frasier fought it out in the famous fight known commonly as the gorilla in
manila. Husky was a fairly tall man with a muscular build, he had a very
quick reacting mind in the ring, he was a powerful puncher and the
unordinary thing about him is that he can fight either orthodox or
southpaw stance in the ring.He was given the nickname James the power man
Husky after knocking Fredson juniour out in the 2nd round with a lethal
uppercut which knocked one of fredsons moulders out of his mouth blood was
all over the ring and it was classed to be one of the most memorable fights
in history. What made it unordinary was this was when he was in the cruiser
weight and the power of the punch was the equivalent of Geroge Foremans
awesome hooks.. James always stay focused on the aim of the fight which is
to win and that integrity and spirit has won him most of his fights. A
characteristic which made him stand outside the ring was that he was very
crotchety this was also the case after his fights and in public. Whenever
he was victorious over one of his fights he would always end up yelling at
a bewildered reporter who he would end up either pushing onto the floor.
Even though he was like this, it was what made him entertaining to watch
and he is known to have one of the most amazing attitudes to live. In the
conference room Husky was wearing an black swage suit with a black striped
shit and blue aqua coloured tie, he was sitting in there patiently waiting
for the conference to progress.
While James Husky was inside sitting
on lined table on the right side of the room sippinghis glass of squeezed
lemon, loud chaotic noises were coming from outside. Husky got out of his
Brown leather chairand looked outside the window and developed a
tormenting smile. Outside was a large Grey gold plated 550 Ferrari
Maranello, it was being blocked by a crowd and the car was unable to move
forward so it pulled to the side of the curve and stopped. The passengers
door was opened and Bobby Norton approached onto the road. Bobby Norton
was Lewis Carters promoter and had been his promoter for years. He was
experienced at what he did and was also a promoter of other great fighters
like Ben Gills Olympic silver medallist inwelter weight and also Benvollio
Dulcet heavy weight champion from 1997 to 1998 however he was less popular
when he was defeated by “James the power man Husky” in 1998. Norton was
a very popular man also known for when he used to be a entrepreneur for
many successful training businesses located all over the States and Europe
however he gave all his businesses to his oldest son Thomas Norton mainly
due to being so busy in his promoting work. On the other hand nobody
really cared about his career professions just cared about him being a
good looking multi millionaire mainly because of the many privatized
companies that he owns. Which could be anything leisure companies,
electronics or even a broad way drug racket for a mob living in little
Italy but who knows nobody really tried to get on his bad side in public
and in the media, due to the several people who have crossed him in their
lives havereceived extra attention from his body guards which isn’t a
pretty site.
Ferraris back seat couldn’t be seen through because
of the tinted windows. Suddenly the doors opened and Jerry Carters came
out of the back seat ,Jerry was Lewis’s uncle and trainer. Five years he
has been training Lewis to become the ultimate boxing fighter, Lewis used
to be trained by his father ,Carl Carters,however he was killedwhilst
locking up the gym on a week night. He was stabbed retentively in />the back while locking the gyms front doors.
Even though Lewis lost
his father at such a important part in his life their dream was to make
Lewis become heavyweight champion by the time he reached his Forties.
Lewis knew he was undefeated for five fights in a row when his father was
killed. It somehow struck him in his mind that whoever killed his father
wanted him dead to stop Lewis achieving his potential. He knew it and so
did his uncle Jerry and they were determined to become the world most
magnificent fighter in the states. Local media stations have been
announcing the fight for weeks knowing it will be great, this fight is
what Lewis has been waiting for with Forty wins andzero losses. Every time
he trained in the gym his father was last seen, every time he goes for jogs
he thinks he would never of got were he is if his father didn’t inspire
him. So the least he could do l share the dream with his father in the
after world to become undisputed heavy weight champion “ Carter the king
of aces” he was given this name by his mother when he was only nine years
of age because he was acing every completion he went to.The fight will be
Huskys hardest challenge and it will be a incredible bout between the two
but disputes have been argued saying Carter will knock Husky out in the
first round because of his great speed, power and confident
personality.Lewis climbed out of the car with a black suit on with a red
shirt without a tie.The roaring was incredible all his fans were putting
there hands out but he just walked forward not showing just a few respect
he believed is you shake one mans hand ,you, should shake every ones.
Menacingly he walked through the brown, oak doors and walked throughthe
lounge which had some newspapers photographers. Willingly to take pictures
they snapped away but he ignoredevery flash . Walking into the main
conference room. Shockingly he ran up towards Husky and got ready to throw
a hook while Husky was sitting off guard. With quick reactions Husky moved
out of the way pushing the chair over and causing a load sensational sound
of cold leather touching the limestone floor.
“Man I’m going to
kill you in the ring, I’m not going to show no mercy sucker” fire was
in Carters eyes when he shouted at Husky.
“got some nerve bringing
your mans in here acting all big, you aren’t nothing to me ” Husky
looked into Carters eyes and gave the same tormenting smile he did when he
saw Carters cars coming.
“ Think you all big man, your two minutes
late” Husky was known for his manipulating remarks towards other
fighters. The two monsters tried to grab one each other into a glitch and
fight each other in a slugger fight but repeatedly they were separated.
Constantly they kept taunting each other.
The conference was one of
the most disturbing in the whole of the boxing association but it did
finish and the fight date was set. Both of them would fight on March
29th,at Maidson Square Garden. Many people were now looking forward to
this epic fight, the two fighters were now fighting to keep their pride
and determination to carry on their winning streaks.

/>The big fight
Exactly three long months had no gone by and both
fighters had been training hard and keeping their fitness up especially.
It was 26th March, with only three days left till the fight. The morning
was bright and the newspaper prints were printing in the publication
factories getting ready to distribute across New York. The front page had
a bold heading written saying “ Carter v Husky, will Husky win like he
says”.
“ l cant believe it, look what there all saying” Lewis
had a copy of The New York times clutched into both of his hands. He was
at home in Brooklyn, sitting in the garden. His house was more of a
warehouse, he owned a 3.5 million dollar mansion with over 50.5 acres if
land in his back garden.The Carter residence was the biggest in the whole
of New York.
“ look at all these people look at what they say,
there saying l am going to lose. What nerve do they have saying these
things, well ill show them on Saturday night. It will be a fight they will
never forget. So Jerry what do you recon?”. Thomas Norton his promoter
was standing timidly in front of Lewis.
“Listen kid, you can say
anything to the media. Stop saying things please?. You can say it politely
or even threaten them guys. They aren’t going to listen these kinds of
media attention get millions of views. Meaning more money for the editors.
All you gotta do is prove them wrong by winning the title and bang the
money they got comes in your favour”. Lewis gave a bovine expression.
“ damn is dosh all you care about well guess what l want more. l
wanna prove them all wrong with my fists not with my money. For all l care
you can keep my money l make on the night just get the media of my back”.
