Date and length fine. I am approving the original hook as I feel that is the best one and would be of interest to boxing fans worldwide. QPQ not needed as this is the nominator's first nomination. No close paraphrasing, picture licence is fine. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:11, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
