Coach Howard opens the door and walks through into the press conference where the sound of reporters echo out of the room, Mike follows him in.

Coach Howard walks across the front of the hall toward a long table of which had been laid out in the front of the room where Mike’s opponent and his coach are sitting.

COACH HOWARD

(as he is walking)

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I’m sorry about the delay. I Would like to begin by thanking our opponents for coming as well and if we may begin asking questions thank you.

Coach Howard sits down and scans across the room and toward the opposing boxer.

REPORTER 1

Hi, Jon Davidson Barnsley Chronicle, Coach Howard I understand that Mike
Has recently been released from prison,
How has this effected his training.


COACH HOWARD

well Mike’s time in prison has taken a
toll on his person life, however that
being said, his boxing has not been
affected in the least but his curfew has made training a little tedious at best.

REPORTER 2

This question is to err, Mr Vladimir Zhirkov. I Understand that you were supposed to fight Mike before, around a year and a half ago but he got sent to prison, how has this affected your opinion of him?

VLADIMIR ZHIRKOV

(Russian Accent)

I Think he is scum… and I shall crush him.

COACH HOWARD

(Angry)

MIKE

Mike rises to swing for Vladimir, Vlad rises too, staring each other eye to eye. Coach Howard rises too and escorts Mike out before tempers rise and Mike gets in more trouble.
