I forgot about him until I saw this thread, he had some close scrapes with poor journeymen, never really rated him.
He failed to make weight for his bout against Matty ***an and hasn't been seen since. Prince Patel is another who has disappeared into the wilderness. These guys were never actual boxers anyway, just comedy sideshows.
Yes I've heard a few things about his father in the past. Apparently he cost him a place at an amateur international event because he wouldn't let him stay at the team hotel! Quite a few other rumours floating about as well about some strange fella who used to travel from Wales to watch him train. I don't know the truth in these but it all seems very odd.
