Tony Jeffries has split with his trainer bobby rimmer and will announce a a new trainer in the coming days announced on face book looks like hes heading to an American trainer
He was a "pretty boy" and ticket seller in the mid 80s. Though VERY carefull matchmaking by Frank Warren he muddled his way to something like a 35-0 (30) record. Then the moment of truth arrived and he was matched against Gary Jabobs and then Kirkland Laing, lost both fights and promptly retired. (The Laing KO was a corker!!)
Why did he go to the Kronk? I'd hardly image it would be the best place for a welterweight to go around that time Unless you've got a death wish :deal
Warren guilty of careful matchmaking?? You better hope he dosen't take you to court for such slander!
Cheers for the lowdown Gaz, I noticed he chucked it in after the Laing stoppage:yep I'll try and track it down for a watch.:good
Retired at 23 years old with a 35-2 record. I think its fair to say Laing knocked the fight out of him!!
He was on TV all the time being given the prospect treatment. He had a younger brother, Tony, who's career followed a very similar path to Georges.
