    a while back i caught the programme 'homes under the hammer'....i'm guessing that it was recorded maybe five years ago...you know how they show older ones sometimes...
    anyway...this older man, in his seventies {really fit man, looked around 50}, bought a house for him and the wife and built a home gym behind it and set it up as an amateur boxing club.
    this was somewhere in london.
    this man was an ex-pro....i didnt get his name but have often thought about asking here if anyone knows of him or seen the programme...i'd be interested in knowing more about him or how his wee club is going now.
