I saw something that I disagreed with, and because it was Naz, people let him do it. If you slagged off Cus D\u2019amato to Mike Tyson, you wouldn\u2019t get away with it. That\u2019s the same with me and Brendan Ingle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNaz said that \u2018Johnny is a snake\u2019 \u2013 I thought, \u2018do you know some of the things I could drop on you, I could ruin you!\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI said my piece, the way he spoke about Brendan was unforgivable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople in Sheffield were coming up to me in Sheffield and saying well done for sticking up for Brendan.
