Boxers who lost fights outside the ring

Slightly off topic ...but a guy once tried to mug an elderly Jack Dempsey....Dempsey beat the guy to the ground and waited for the cops to come lol

 

Tommy Morrison lost to Sly Stallone in Rocky 5.

 

Conn and his Father in Law were always at it.

 

Not surprised. Ken is almost impossible to like. His Daughter lives near me, although divorced, Karen keeps her married name. Ken's Son, Mark took out an injunction against him.

 

Tragic.

 

Grangetown Station in Cardiff. The late Reg Gutteridge always said the muggers would never have got to Court. Jimmy never left Hospital and wasn't aware that hid Wife of over 50 years had died.

 

A guy I know, now in hid late 70's but still a big fella told me that, in the 60's, he had a job as a bouncer in a nightclub in Willenhall, between Wolverhampton and Walsall, (Sorry American friends, you'll have to Google or ignore).
One night, Terry Downes came in, half cut, with some other blokes. Terry, although a Londoner to his toe nails, was often seen around the Midlands then. Northern Soul thing I think.
Anyhow, my big mate has got his eye on a girl who is talking to Terry and obviously enthralled, (What did she see in the former US Marine, World Middleweight Champion and millionaire by the time he was 30 ?) So he decides he's going to throw Downes out for being drunk. Here's what he told me, word for word.
"Imagine your're at Blackpool and all the lights are on. Now imagine a power cut. Didn't see it, didn't hear it, didn't even feel it. Apparently. I was out for about 5 minutes".
Angry civilians and Boxers don't mix.

 

I didn’t know about this, but it’s common knowledge that Mitch Green and Mike Tyson had a showdown first in the ring and then on the street.

 

Another tragic one, I’m afraid. Andy Ganigan was attacked outside a bar in 2010 and died two years later as a result of health complications from the attack. The guy who did it went to prison.

 

That's the punch-up that killed the Louis-Conn rematch which was tentatively scheduled for June 1942. Conn broke his hand on his father-in-law's head. Don't know if you can credit the father-in-law with a win exactly, but he evidently felt pretty good about it, because he and a friend showed up on Conn's doorstep later that night looking for more. Conn called the police.
