    Just shows that if Larry couldn't make it in boxing he could have been a big draw in pro wrestling. He had the moves and he could definitely work a microphone.

    What got Larry so upset? Did Trevor forget his wallet when he invited Holmes to lunch?

    There was a woman called Jenny from Jacksonville, a fighter who would shoot dead his manager, another who would be bludgeoned to death by his nephew and one of the greatest-ever heavyweights acting like Superman.

    In April 1991 Larry Holmes ended a short exile with a one-round win over the infamous Tim Doc Anderson at the Diplomat Resort and Country Club in Hollywood, Florida. Anderson, a serial loser, played his role beautifully and was willing to quit once Holmes flashed something slightly more lethal than a smile.


    After the fight, as Holmes was talking to the press, somebody noticed the former world heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick, who was down on his uppers at the time, at the back of the room. Holmes was asked would he fight Berbick and dismissed the question with a smile. “No, that is not going to happen. I beat him once, won every round and I don’t like his attitude,” said Holmes before retiring to his suite. He had defended his world title against Berbick over 15 rounds in 1981.



    Berbick, trying to look smart in a suit and tie, started talking once Holmes had left. He told a story about a woman called “Jenny from Jacksonville”, where Holmes had a vacation home, and her part in the breakdown of his marriage. “I can prove it,” Berbick ranted. “She is his sweetheart, nothing more than a street *****. I got the tapes. She ruined it all for me [his marriage] and that was because of him.”



    The previous year Berbick and his wife had split, he had been charged with the alleged **** of the family babysitter and then arrested for kidnapping his daughter. At the back of the post-fight conference that night he was blaming it all on Holmes, whose wife happened to hear it on the way to the elevator to return to their suite.

    She told Larry what Berbick was saying, he left the room and went to find Berbick, and a scuffle followed, in the hotel’s lobby, which was broken up by two policemen. Nobody was arrested, no guns were drawn.
