I was reading this weeks Boxing News and was saddened to read an article saying that Howard Clarke is seriously ill. Such a sad story. I remember Howard causing some guys huge trouble and beating many prospects. A great servant to the domestic game and one of the journeyman boxing needs in Britain...He showed many fighters the ropes on there way up the ranks. He would always give the prospects a good fight and also had a world title fight with Fernando Vargas which ended in defeat. I hope he can pull through and this benefit night goes well for him...he deserves a big turn out. :bbb
I read this in the Boxing News and was shocked, I had no idea. I hope it is a great night and they raise plenty for Howard. As Mandanda has said, he was a great servant to the sport and I would like to see boxing give a little back to him.
