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
