Help Me With a Fighter....

[Taansend]

I'm trying to remember a British fighter from the late 80s early 90s. I think he was a Welter or one division up or down. He was a British Champion who had lost a few early fights. He was a white bloke & I think he was from Carlisle. Heavy handed, but not heavily skilled.

Chris someone?

[Noxy]

Saunders?

[mickey1975]

Saunders is from Barnsley. Charles Sheperd is from Carlisle but not welter nor called Chris!

[Taansend]

Yeah, it wasn't either of them. I'm probably getting half a dozen boxers mixed up

He might have been from Bracknell. I just remember a crude, but powerful, fighter who upset a few favourites around Welter about 25/30 years ago.....

Geoff McCreesh.

[Manchester Massive]

Kostas Petrou, although from Brum?

[TheGoods]

McCreesh you mean. 100% fits that description and a Bracknell lad

[Floyd the snake]

Andy Till from Norhtolt ?

[rd350lc]

Scrap iron Ryan ? , dunno his Christian name .

[Taansend]

It wasn't Scrap Iron. It was someone who was kind of a journeyman but got some decent wins late on.

Or maybe not

McCreesh was from Billingham originally, via Port Clarence.

He left the north east cos he got in some "Trouble" I believe

I'd say Geoff McCreesh fits that description.

"T.M.K"

[Taansend]

To be honest I think I might be merging Saunders, McCreesh & Shepherd into one person in my hazy memory

Didn't there used to be trouble in the crowd when he was fighting
