    Indeed there is. I remember the mention of him a few month ago in the Brit forum when I said how heartbreaking it was to read that he'd been walking round his nursing home trying to find someone to talk boxing. I think it was his wife who replied on there so I hope she's read the tributes to him here.

    Thank you everyone for your kind warm words about my man, he truly was one in a million and is deeply missed. His funeral is going to be a tough day for all of his people, reading how respected and loved he was by so many is wonderful and comforting.
