Identify these 2 people?

Post by Mimmy »

Ok,ive noticed over the years while watching boxing on tv 2 blokes that seem to appear in the ring in certain fights in the UK back in the late 80's and early 90's. I have no clue who they are but 1 seemed to be always in the ring after boxing in Ireland. He looked a little like Alex Higgins. The other bloke appeared on bills in the UK was a big fella black hair and usually wore a siut and dickie bow, but he looked like Jockey Wilson. surely some of you blokes have noticed these 2 'lookalikes' any ideas?
