I'm not too sure Mr Banjo. I know that he said he was "after" the fella, but as to whether or not he got his hands on him, I don't know.

It has been well documented that the killer had been receiving torrents of abuse from other prisoners. Presumably friends and would-be friends of Magee's were constantly threatening him and trying to attack him.

And you'd be right. That is one guy who is far too quick to anger.

Colin Kenna is a builder. Brick layer to trade.

Billy Bessey is a bin man but runs a thriving white collar boxing gym and puts on lots of shows throughout the year.

Show me a better ogre / giant for a kid's show. He wouldn't even have to go through makeup

Thats what I was about to say. Apparently away from the ring valuev writes poetry and plays music and sings.

As far as I know he did. Way back in the early '90s, he was done is a punishment shooting... Still, it didn't deter him for long.

As long as he is happy.

I always felt a bit sorry for Valuev, because reportedly after losing his World title to David Haye, I read that he had to undergo numerous surgeries because of bone problems.

It meant that he was never going to get back in the ring and win that title back. And I would have been interested in seeing him fight Wladimir Klitschsko.

Don't think he ran a nursing home. Didn't he have a string of them and retirement villages. The car he drives around Brighton is a rolls royce I think.

Didn't he get into boxing as someone tried to rob him of his rolex and he battered the person and his mates and enjoyed it so he took up the noble art?

He had to give it up, the Brewery took it off him as it wasn't making enough money. I went there quite a few times to interview him, it was pretty ropey, lots of dicey characters there of an evening.

Didn’t he also lead an expedition into Siberia to find some mythical creatures or something? I’m sure he had a documentary crew filming him.

Doncaster. You don't go to Wakefield for short terms. Naz won't have been anywhere near there. He only did a few days in Doncaster before going to moorlands open.

Mark Prince lectures in schools and other places on the effects of knife crime. His son Kiyan was died several years ago after being the victim of a knife attack. Mark is a true inspiration. :bow:
