    I remember hearing he lost the drive to train etc so decided to have some time off.

    He was a decent boxer so hopefully he can get that hunger back.Though its been a few years now..

    Aye heard he got time etc and aye he "was" down harrys with Kickett sparring in the past, so im told.

    At one time he was the Wests answer to the East ( Katsidas )

    Was the biggest fight in Australia at the time ( when he was pro )

    Hope all is good anyways

    Hairy:deal

    I've got no real memory of the time frame of everything that went down...if he got min 2 he may be out already?

    I read so much I can't remember if he got sentenced recently or a couple of years ago.

    Why? Harry Gym is not responsible for anything that went down.

    It's news in the public domain. If u really want to know what happened search for it.

    Zelky, I believe craig christian used to train him, therefore he would probably be best aware of what ben cruz is up to these days regarding training,fighting etc.
    I wasnt implying that harrys gym was involved in anything that happened outside of his boxing career.

    Go and **** your boot zelky
