    Happy New Year everyone.

    Just wondering if there's anyone here who might know how I can get in contact with the recently retired Peter Buckley? I'm a sports journalism student and I'm looking to write a human interest piece on a journeyman boxer for my portfolio. He seems like a really interesting character and of course his record is unbelievable. Never saw him fight, but I hear that he was in fact a great defensive fighter and under different circumstances could have had a much more successful career. I'm sure he doesn't deserve to be labeled the world's worst boxer. Anyway, I would love the chance to tell his story. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    Contact Ian Johnson at

    and give him your details to pass on. He's a boxing journalist for the Birmingham Mail and has recently interviewed the man himself. I doubt he'll release personal information but I'm sure he'll be happy to pass on your contact details. You never know, Buckley himself may call you at home.

    If you do have success with getting in touch with him, why not submit your article to the ESB blog for us all to have a read? Just a thought.
