You also have to take into account that the other guy was 14 years older than Chrisy who was 24 in 1999 and had lost his lost last two fights in 1985, so way way way way way past his prime.
I think that site may only detail pro fights, I seem to recall Chrisy never went pro he was always strickly an amatuer and that ended due to a shoulder injury
One lacking the skill of a professional, as in an art.
Not professional; unskillful.
a person unskilled in or having only a superficial knowledge of a subject or activity
During his live stream Q&A last Saturday, Chrisy reckoned that of the 4 evictions featured in the piss-poor Channel 4 documentary 'Battling the Bailiffs', 3 of them were 'wins' and one - Princess Rekha's - was a 'draw'. Funny how he's gone silent since the Chancery Court verdict of 19th June where Princess Rekha was ordered to pay the much increased legal costs of £90k. I class that not so much as a draw but a MASSIVE loss - potentially the biggest FMOTL loss of all time.

At one point, Princess Rekha had a mortgage-free house worth around £200k - £250k. Now she is about to be evicted again, and all that equity is going to vanish like snow in springtime. What a stupid, ridiculous waste of money.
...Like Princess Rekha said in the Channel 4 Battling the Bailiffs documentary: "Its not a case of can't pay, it's won't pay. We're not the kind of people who pay off bullies, I'd rather lose the shirt off my back."

The obvious way the house was purchased is that they remortgaged the parent's house. The alternative being that Princess had £175k laying around in spare change which, as you can surmise, is unlikely though possible. So the cottage may not have a mortgage on it, but mum and dad's place likely does.

Worn by anyone else, it would be funny. A droll reference to the hyperbole of paedo accusations. Unfortunately Chrisy has been a part of what is being mocked, so on him it just signals a monumental lack of self-awareness.

I'm afraid I dodn't see the humor at all and would have taken offense on sight, and if Chrisy had been wearing it, well deserved, but I would still find it offensive in the extreme.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.
Am I the only one who thinks perhaps he doth protest too much?
I'd bet a bottle of good Kentucky Bourbon that Chrissy might have more in his computer downloads file than scripts for harassing the help at banks.
Maybe I've been too soured by Televangelists, but anyone so uptight about something like this makes me suspicious, a good part of the real life sick phucks have been the ones screaming the loudest before they got caught.

Your concern is duly noted, filed, folded, stamped, sealed with wax and affixed with a thumbprint in red ink, forgotten, recalled, considered, reconsidered, appealed, denied and quietly ignored.
People usually scream the loudest about the thing they see in themselves.

I think the humour relies upon awareness of how 'paedo' has been misused in overheated rhetoric, being a favoured accusation for stupid and nasty people in the UK for a couple of years. Might perhaps translate over the pond as -
I'm right, and anyone who disagrees is worse than Hitler
I'm right, and anyone who disagrees is exactly what the Nazis did
I'm right, and anyone who disagrees is a communist
I'm right, and anyone who disagrees hates America
I'm right, and anyone who disagrees is a racist
If that still doesn't reach your funny bone, then I think it's a cultural thing. UK humour can be very mordant and ironic, and similar t-shirts or captions are not uncommon, eg :

I just assumed he's always disagreeing with himself.

I think I prefer the Yes Minister version, "It's one of those irregular verbs, isn't it: I have an independent mind; you are an eccentric; he is round the twist."
Oddly, that t-shirt doesn't seem to be from his current provider. (.com is clearly visible on it, instead of .co.uk). I wonder how the makers of the "you got Morrissed" t-shirt feel about that.
