British super middle & light heavy (dabbled some @ cruiser) - active for two decades and was British and European champ @ 168lbs, Commonwealth & British champ @ 175lbs, and English national champ @ 200lbs - passed away yesterday at 44. Sudden onset of terminal cancer, was only diagnosed this January. One of only three people to ever stop Ovill McKenzie, and did so far faster than Tony Bellew or Enzo Maccarinelli, by several rounds each in fact, icing "The Upsetter" in under 2 minutes. I was going to post a video of that blitz in tribute, but appears to not be available online anywhere...
He was only diagnosed in January, that is terrible to hear, if that were me I would still be struggling to come to terms with it. Sad sad news rip champ.
Rest in peace. Very talented fighter, good enough to win a world title for sure. Still had a great career though!
