Sparring - I sparred a good few England ABA champions, I won't name them all, but keep an eye out for Anthony Fowler.

When I read this post I thought I typed it myself because of the avatar (as I used to sport it). I immediately thought what the fuck you filthy liar, but I can't even remember posting it

The legendary Apollo James Jackson...

But in all seriousness, I sparred somebody that had represented England at David Binn's gym and have sparred a few ABA competitors and a few guys that were going pro.
