Boxers you met in real life

Chris Eubank Sr years ago in Brighton. Nice guy and had a lot of time for the fans.
Ricky Hatton in a pub in Coventry when he was promoting. Real down to earth and loved the banter.
Friends with Baz Carey, tough journeyman who's fought khan, Gomez among many others. Top bloke , a great laugh and trains like a demon.
Used to work with Neil Simpson, ex British light heavy champ. One of the most laid back people you could ever meet.
Went to school with Richard Evatt and Roy Rutherford

 

A mate of mine bumped into Gary Mason in a night club in Wales he was doing some promotion real good bloke was chatting and messing about I wish I could have been there RIP champ you are sadly missed.

I trained at a semi-known boxer's gym who built a decent regional record, took a big cash out dive and opened a gym.

Guy was a dick.

 

I with sone friends was at the fight wlad vs corrie sanders in zag arena hannover / germany .

A big show , wlad was praised as a 'german' king fighting in his home country .

There was a break between the undercard and the main event and we went out for a cigarette .

We returned a bit late and barely took our seats to just see how wlad wobbles around and kisses the canvas .

 

George Foreman!
