Anyone remember this welter , boxed for wales, and when he turned over be boxed out of stoke, as his dad had connections obviously in our area, think he fought here 3 or 4 times As a pro,

Was a nice little buzz in stoke having adopted him as one of ours, then he lands himself in It

Shame that was ,stoke took to him to,

Could possible done ok maybe just below British title level

[stujones]

This was Mickey Thomas' boy? Good amateur and probably had the making of fringe British champion as a pro.

[Bleak]

Correct he was, Micky's lad,

Hence the popularity in Stoke, I remember he was selected for
A commonwealth games to

and yet the universal 'syringe mime' meant the penny dropped anyway, good-oh

He isnt on the gear. Wouldnt say "he doesnt have boxers physique" either - hes not a meat head by any stretch. Hes around 11 and a half stone.

Promotes MMA and boxing shows in North Wales. Still competing, favours MMA. Earns a living doing "box fit boot camp" and doing circuit / boxing sessions.

Wanted to go back pro but couldnt get pro liscence as hes on liscence following the armed robbery. Think thats up next year, he'll be 33 then.
