    I don't see him in the ring.

    Nigel Benn was there, and George Francis, and looks like Bruno's older brother was there.
    It's nice to have that sort of support. Shame Bruno couldn't get it together when the bell rang and it was just him at Mike Tyson.

    The Dark Lord wouldn't have been able to help him either.

  6. Adam Booths first fighter was daivid haye, he used to be a pro fighter himself until he got a leg injury playing footie, he used to be a personall trainer in a gym, part of the deal for working there was that he could use the gyms facilities to himself to train haye, its only when he got a one off job training Kylie Minogue that he made enough money to set up his own gym. Thats basically his Boxing story, Ugly kid must have wondered into the gym at some point, not sure about his part

    wrong

    booth never turned pro, he had 40 fights as an amateur before injuring his legs.

    he went onto educate himself in physiology and started working at rehabilitation clinics until he opened his own, he then became a fitness/nutritional (called strength and conditioning coach these days) for rugby, football, tennis players and also trained kylie minogue!, he used to give lectures at universities about physiology .

    I recently read in a newspaper article that Booth lost 2 of 42 amateur fights but didn't win any notable titles ?
    Is that true ?
    Is it even possible ?

    Another article said he won 40 of 48 amateur fights.
    :huh

    I've heard others say that he didn't fight at all.
    I wonder if anyone can verify whether Booth was actually a boxer or not.

    He worked with Gary Logan, and Stevie Smith...i think its the Stephen smith that Hatton fought. Look how young he is here, he looks a lot darker skinned and slimmer also(pre his alleged HGH use- alleged by he who cannot be named)
