I found this article and wondered if anyone knows anything more about him.

A boxer known as "The Gent" has been jailed for seven years for killing his love rival with a single right hook.

Charlie Rumbol, 21, knocked out 18-year-old Robert Radford in a London street because he spent the weekend with his former girlfriend Carly Easter, 17, the Old Bailey was told.

Judge Ann Goddard told Rumbol: "You are a professional boxer so your fist was in fact your weapon. You waited for him and then you deliberately attacked him. You cannot say this happened in the heat of the moment."

Rumbol had denied the attack at an earlier hearing, but was found guilty of the manslaughter of Mr Radford on 3 November 1998.

Also, boxrec has his last fight recorded in 1999, how could he if he was in prison?

There's a Chatham connection in there somewhere I think...didn't he box for St.Mary's or Medway GG as as Amateur?
