RIP

A true legend of the UK scene

[Tuan_Jim]

That is sad. A good British boxing character. And developed quite a few top class boxers. A successful life.

Dean Francis has also passed away

Seriously? Another really nice guy, had the world at his feet until his shoulder went

[orbtastic]

Blimey. Shame about both.

[REEVE]

Rip brendan and dean

[Controversial]

Damn, what a shame. RIP Dean and Brendan.

[stujones]

Shit - that's terrible. I was only reading about Dean Francis last month and he seemed to be winning (or holding his own) in his battle.... going away for treatment.... He was looking very well.

Just shocked....

Also shocking about Brendan. I appreciated he wasn't in the greatest of health recently - but it is still a shocker - one of the giants of British boxing.

[Noxy]

Awful news that. I don’t know much about Dean Francis, but I remember him being a top fighter. RIP Dean.

As for Brendan, well he was a legend. RIP Brendan.

[keirw]

Sad news.

RIP both men.

[sweetscience]

RIP to both

[Stuarty]

RIP Dean. Sad day for the sport.

Brendan Ingle & Dean Francis. R.I.P.

[bennie]

Horrible news. I remember Brendan as a pro and he learned all the tricks and knew how to pass them on. He made Bomber a star and he made Johnny Nelson a star (when everyone else would have dropped Nelson). I met him a few times and liked him a lot. Dean Francis had the ability to become the new John Conteh until his shoulder went. He is survived by his dad, Trevor, a former good pro. Trevor must be in bits.

[TheGman]

R.I.P to the legend of british boxing

Dean Francis has also passed away

No way, dean aswell? Used to love watching him in the late 90's then his shoulder went,think he lost the title that night and he went awol for abit after that. Sad sad day for boxing

[Deno1986]

RIP. One of Ireland’s greatest sporting exports.

[big lennox]

Put simply, he was the very best. Such a lovely, wise, talented, kind man.
