I know we see quite a few of these but some of you might remember Ian. In fact, some of you might even know him - if you've been in the same room as him for five minutes, you won't forget him.
Daft as a brush but with his heart certainly in the right place.
Ians a great lad, always at local shows, good fighter in his day, non stop action, fought on the Watson v Benn undercard in Finsbury park,
I have a poster still, Ian was the main event v Paul Gadney, and Lennox Lewis was on the undercard!!!!
ian was game and tough as they come, he teached me a few lessons in sparring.
i learned alot from him.
a top class bloke that has a great heart, a good fellow.
Ian Honeywood reached the late stages of the ABAs in 1984, shocking Coventry's much-fancied Colin Lynch en route. Honeywood was ultimately outscored in a wild and woolly affair by demolition worker Kevin Taylor, who won the ABA featherweight title and went to the LA Olympics that year.
