Rogan reveals fury at Ulster star Ferris ‘dive’ tweet
The former Commonwealth heavyweight champion — who takes part in Saturday’s Prizefighter event in London — was stopped by Tyson Fury in five rounds at the time, leading Ferris to tweet: “Was the boxing fixed?” And when Tommy Bowe asked what happened via the social networking site, Ferris added: “Body shot and he was nearly knocked out. Better fights in the crowd.” Those tweets were later removed but Rogan is still less than pleased when explaining what happened behind the scenes.
“Stephen is lucky I didn’t pop him. I mean how stupid can you be? My solicitor got onto me and told me to sue him but that’s not what I go around doing. But just for him to say that, I can’t get over it. The next morning after that fight, I was sitting outside Door Steps [eatery] on the Lisburn Road with a friend, and Ferris comes out. ‘Alright lads,’ he says and starts chatting away. He was standing there right in front of me, pretending to be my pal and it wasn’t until an hour later I even knew what he had said.
