Ron had 6 fights and lost 2

Does anyone know how good they were at boxing??


I was watching a programme the other night about Patsy Kensit, and it seems her father was also a boxer called Jimmy Kensit, however i can only find a career record of a 'Young Kensit' from the same area Bethnal Green so im guessing this is her dad.

fought 3 times and only won once.

At this period of time in London we know it was full of these villians but also part from the 4 mentioned above who else that was associated with these men also sboxed at professional.

Reggie put out a book called something like "Villains We Have Known". Lots of ex-pros in there.

Reggie and Ronnie were pretty hopeless in the ring; Charlie was better than both of them put together.

Reg Gutteridge said the Krays couldn't box paper bags! I think there ability to box was way exaggerated. They were just villains, nothing more, nothing less!
