Active Fighters Who Turned Pro Last Century

[Taansend]

I see that Bradley Pryce is fighting again soon. He turned pro back in 1999.

What other active boxers turned pro before the year 2000?

Wlad, Pac, and Salido turned pro 21-22 years ago; RJ and Toney about 100 years ago

Yes, he saw the light after the stars in his last fight and hung up his gloves.

Noticed he was fighting Keiran Smith in Paisley. I remember seeing him on a Scott Harrison undercard in 2001/2002! I caught his fight on the undercard and seen him outside later on. He was wearing a horrendous tracksuit with his name and face on

Is Yori Boy Campas still kicking around? He must've debuted in the early 80s/late 70s

[Stuarty]

Wlad debuted mid 90s. Not sure if Michael Sprott is still going but he started out in the 90s. Danny Williams still kicking around unfortunately.

Pryce used to post here regularly...those were the days with the likes of him, Rees, Bellew, Gavin, and miserable Paul.

I don't think I was on here when Smith was kicking around but I can imagine him regularly using the 'you know noothin about fookin boxing' line or something similar

Tell us the story about Paul again!

[jameswilson]

Don't think anyone has mentioned Toney. He debuted in 1989 ffs.

[gilgamesh]

Supposedly his last fight was his retirement fight, but considering it just happened a week ago I think there's a good chance it may not be the last we see of him in the ring.

Couple more years and he can hit that 30 year a pro mark
