I am not his biggest fan as a commentator but after reading this and what he did at the Clapham train crash you cant fault him as a good guy.

[slip&counter]

he's a top bloke is Dukey he does great work at his Dukebox, i can think of worser commentators too :good

[Dan684]

Very nice to see. I'm not a fan of his commentary but this is top

[Mandanda]

Had the pleasure of meeting Duke...The man is a real gentleman and a great ambassador for the sport.

Him and his family do a lot of good work for boxing.

Nice story btw

[kosaros]

Good stuff :good

People like Duke are unsung heroes. They never court publicity and do quite a bit for the community. Such people rarely receive any recognition. Peopel like Duke should be knighted. I remember after the Clapham disaster there were concerns about his mental state as the scene of the crash was a complete knightmare but he came through it.

[Dan684]

Lads anyone got a link about Mckenzie's efforts during the Clapham Train Disaster, would really like to read about what he did ?

[UndisputedUK]

He's got the old IBF belt there, before they modernised it!

[DGLASS JAW]

dukes commentry work is shit...but seems like a top lad....
that Scottish tit is the worst,does my nut.

[barrington]

[GPater11093]

Dan i had a look for what Duke did in the train crash but no luck

[brown bomber]

I think Duke is very astute and knows exactly when peoples legs have gone.



















..... But what a beautiful stand up boxer... you'd be hard pressed to find better... No wonder you like him Billy.

[Dan684]

Class boxer though, sounds like a top man too by the sounds of things :good

I remeber at the boxing before - I was walking near ringside and I was with FAT JOE and I walked in the way of this black guy dressed in a tux and FAT JOE said

"Its your mate Bernie !!!!"

Cos it looked just like him

I went to say hello but then realised it was actually Duke McKenzie !

:lol:

No a guy I use to work with

Little black guy - he was Jamican - but he worked with me in a Car Plant when I was about 19 / 20 years old

He was in his 30's and he was the fucking spitting image of Duke McKenzie

My other mate was in a top class resturant eating lobster on the phone to business clients in New York

[Aztec God]

:lol:

Speaking of my mate - I aint seen him in a while

But I seen his missus in Swansea Centre the other day

She gave me a wave

I was in my car - She was in HIS car but the number is a personailsed number plate of HER name :lol:

[Aztec God]

My mates missus knows everyone.

[Aztec God]

Duke Mckenezie was falling asleep in the Sky studio before during a late night fight in America :lol::rofl

[Aztec God]

Is Clinton Mckenzie his brother?

The one Steve Robinison fought?

[DamonD]

I've always thought of McKenzie as a good bloke, good boxer...and a bloody hilarious commentator. "He's gone, Jim!"

[pauliewalnuts]

Is Clinton Mckenzie his brother?

The one Steve Robinison fought?

Not sure mate, I was just about to ask who Dukes brother was, I cant remember his name!

Duke himself though, good boxer, very good jab if I remember rightly, nice man as well, a gent.

[brown bomber]

Yes.... Robinson fought Duke.

[scurlaruntings]

I think Duke is very astute and knows exactly when peoples legs have gone.

:lol::lol: "Jim LOOK his legs are gone! His legs are gone Jim! LOOOOOK! His leggggggs!!!"

[Tribute]

Did anyone else sense that Duke is ashamed of his brother's adopted daughter (the lesbian from Big Brother that fought on ITV4 the other week)? After saying he didn't agree with women's boxing he then refused to say a word until the end of the round - after I assume someone told him to do his job. He was then asked something along the lines of whether it was a proud moment for him to see a McKenzie in the ring, unfortunately despite rewinding it a number of times I couldn't make out his response accept that from the tone of it, he wasn't proud at all.

Did anyone else witness this strange moment in ITV Sport history?
