    Had a good heavyweight career but was a little small, went down to cruiser and went on a big winning streak,was inline for a title shot and then just disappeared 2 years ago.

    Anyone know what happened to him and where he is now?

    Being affiliated in any way with Öner often ends in tears. The guy must be the biggest crook in world boxing and this is quite the achievement

    He had a court case and was then going to fight Danny McIntosh but it didn't happen... I'd like to see him against Audley!

    he could have been a terror at cruiserweight...dude could punch, i think by the time he dropped down to cruiser, his heart wasnt in the sport any longer

    I think he sustained a cut in his last fight a few years ago and probably called it quits.

    He was hiding as recently as September when there was a warrant out for his arrest for unpaid fines. Every year he seems to have some ******ed little court case over some easily avoidable nonsense.

    He says he's looking for a big fight because he's having money trouble.

    Vitali took his soul, chewed on it and spat it out

    At his peak Herbie was like a modern version of Muhammad Ali, minus the chin

    and yet Adamek has not given up his (somewhat hopeless) pursuit of becoming HW champion, beating Chambers and Walker is not a bad streak, considering the beating he took

    Hide was never the same afterwards, he even managed to lose to a couple of nobodies after he had his soul taken
