I always wanted to make XB a space for all girls, femmes, gays to write about boxing/sports.

If any of y'all ever wanna contribute and become part of the team, reach out 🫶🏾

Now more than ever we need real writing and genuine mediums for sports and literally everything else.

@LuchaLily I think my wife and a couple of contributors to The Spit Bucket might be interested in this. What's the best way for them to contact you?

@linesandleather 🥊 Thanks for being part of it. Hopefully someone else will start something similar.

[Frankie Mines @linesandleather]

Sad to hear this is the last one! Glad I contributed in a small way.

Lizzy & David accomplished something special with The Spit Bucket.

No exaggeration to say The Spit Bucket has been not only my favorite boxing project of late, but no other creative project has encouraged me to push my process and my work as productively.

@RihnAndrew Thanks for this. It's great to know that the little zine has inspired people to make contact and create new work. Thanks again for being part of it. 🥊

👀 New book on UK #boxing history. Written by Stephen Barr, grandson of Dick Burke. Barr knows his boxing history - should be a good one

Very happy to have found out about the @BFI season of boxing films in advance rather than the day its ending as is usually my luck.
Season runs 30 March - 30 April.

A few nights away for work so needed some decent reading. Thought I’d dig this out of the cupboard again. It’s a brilliant read by the much missed Melanie Lloyd. Mel was a fantastic writer, I strongly recommend it.

@LDNBOXHISTORY Ah! This is awful!
