David said; "I talked in length with Sulaiman regarding the premiership and was shocked that he knew so much we talked about Hernandez who play's for premiership giants Manchester united and my club liverpool and he has nothing but admiration for Dalglish for what he has achieved so far this season.

" We then got on to boxing and I told him my ambition is to fight for the best title out there, and be the WBC champion within the next two years."

Also at the convention was Heavyweight legends Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield and Larry Holmes.

"Meeting the likes of Tyson and Holmes was a dream come true and hope that one day I stand next to them as an equal and not just a fan."

A big talking point at the convention was how to revive the heavyweight division, "I believe I am the man to that, I will bring back the good old days and the excitement", Said David
