He lost his first 4 fights, 3 of those he was DQ'd in. Shows he learnt the hard way.
Looking at his record and i forgot that Colin Dunne and Barry Jones beat him over here. Dunne beat him by a shut out decision, even though that was at lightweight its a very good win for Dunne.

Woody promoting again? Thought he was just managing these days.
Re: Any one remember Affif Djelti
I remember that one - he was a right tough nut. This fight was shown on terrestrial tv (in the good old days, when the word terrestrial meant as in the film ET).pyenest77 wrote:Saw him beat Alex Moon at Wythenshawe (i think) years ago. Good fighter.
I have just looked up the fight - it was 10 years ago
Did that bill also have a few other good fights with the Manchester lads - Carl Thompson ? (I might just be getting mixed up).

Re: Any one remember Affif Djelti
I remember reading that he used the weight & kudos of the EBU title to get a job as a PE teacher in his hometown. He had been turned down for the job previously but upon winning and defending the title a few times, the school wanted him!!

Another guy who came over here and had success was Stefano Zoff, he always struck me as tough as the proverbial coffin nail.
