Used to ref a load of fights but dont see him so much now. A top ref IMO. Seemed a bit of a character.
He was forced to retire due to age, he has been refereeing on the continent for years now. You'll see him on a lot of German shows.
Used to have a cafe in Leeds. Top bloke. I like him because he'd dare score a non-consequential four or six rounder to a journeyman.
He wanted to go Haye/Chisora as a big **** you to the BBBoC for stopping him referee fights due to age....
ID have him back in a second. Brit refs are the worst for early stoppages. Never saw that problem with Vann from what I remember. He is one of the reasons Earl-Katsidis was so good.
