“Of course you know that there’s one weight heavier than heavyweight in boxing”. Gary spoke with such adult like authority that I had no choice but to believe him. “It’s called the Double heavyweight division. The thing is there’s only ever been one fight between two blokes that were so big that they killed each other.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, first round, first punch. They both hit each other at exactly the same time with such incredible force that they keeled over and died. They couldn’t defend themselves because they were so big. I didn’t believe it myself until George Cook confirmed it.”
“So why haven’t I seen any of these Double heavyweight boxing fights advertised Gary?”
“At the time there was such an outcry from American religious groups opposed to such public brutality that it was stopped.”
“Really?” I believed every word of it.
