Where is Kenny Anderson?
What happened to Anderson? Just disappeared from the radar after beating Robin Read.
He seemed like one angry/scary dude.
Has he just packed the game in entirely, or does he keep himself active by panelling random unfortunate souls on the streets of Edinburgh?
He scared the bejaysus out of me, a proven hard nut, so god only kens the kind of terror he would strike into the hearts of lesser folk.

Re: Where is Kenny Anderson?
Indeed, I thought he had a future in the game. Instead he never fought again. I don't what happened there.
Re: Where is Kenny Anderson?
Didn't he get into some legal trouble?
I remember something but nothing specific.

Boxing comes second to someone's mental health and I hope he's getting the help he needs or needed.

He was banned for two years for failing drug tests after the Robin Reid contest and never returned.
Re: Where is Kenny Anderson?
I forgot about that. He battered someone with a hammer as well. Can't remember what the outcome of that was.leejonesjnr wrote:He was banned for two years for failing drug tests after the Robin Reid contest and never returned.

There was a rumour George Groves was going to get shot by a hitman mid-fight against Kenny.

Re: Where is Kenny Anderson?
It's a shame he disappeared because the elite world level king Paul six round Hungarian beater Smith got a VACANT British title fight and his best career win to date because of it.
If only Kenny would have pasted Smigga all them years ago.
Sigh

Got blocked by George Groves all those years ago when he was whinging about getting a rematch against Froch saying it was his right, close fights always should have a rematch etc and I asked when did he have a rematch against Anderson as I must have missed it.
Kenny always reminded of a throw back type of fighter with caveman power.

Just read up on it as I had forgotten about the hitman thing. He got off the attempted murder charge as witnesses didn't show up to court!Stuarty30 wrote:I forgot about that.

Re: Where is Kenny Anderson?
Reading up on it now. It was just before the rematch in 2012 when threats where made on Groves' life. Rumours that it was Anderson's friends and family but don't see how that could be true as Groves' pulled out of the fight citing a back injury.Stuarty30 wrote:I know I remember reading something about it years ago.

I take it Anderson is a bit of a shady character? My mate had fought on the same card as him a couple of times and done some promotional stuff and said he was a tool.

He's well known in Edinburgh. A pal of mine said he was able to outbox him but that he'd want no part of a street fight with him. I can mind hearing stuff about him a few years before Groves fight.
Btw, I can see Greenock from here

All my cousins who are into shady stuff and have crossed paths with him say he's a tool too. Not quite as eloquently put as that mind!Stuarty30 wrote:Ahh it's becoming clearer now.
