Time for Estonia’s sleeper cells to show their colours

I HEARD the great American sports writer Jerry Izenberg blow the dust of some great tales this week on Newstalk’s Off the Ball programme.

Izenberg is, of course, one of the well-worn faces etched onto boxing journalism’s Mount Rushmore along with — to paraphrase Jamie Redknapp — your Mailers, your Hausers, your Lieblings.

He’s trotted out those great yarns earned at the feet of Ali, Frazier and the rest, you suspect, a few times throughout the years. They bare a little repeating.
