Boxers who work other jobs
Re: Boxers who work other jobs
few ex boxers I know who are firemen.
Steve Williams was also a jockey while boxing and now is a fireman. Kevin Jenkins ex flyweight is also a fireman I think.

Re: Boxers who work other jobs
Almost all fighters have jobs, inc British champs if they dont have a big promoter behind them.
Jay Harris for example works in Amazon.
Also the money fighting isnt great so if you take a day off work either side you are losing a couple of days pay on top of it.
The last time I fought Scott Dixon, in 2010, in Malta, I worked the door in the night, flew out in the morning, fought, flew back after and was on the door the same night with 8 stitches in my head.
So the only night I missed working was when I was fighting.
Miguel Matthews worked in the coal mine, drove to the fight after work and was down the mine again in the morning.
Always too damn tight to miss out on a days work!!

They are not British but talking about jobs, Hank Lundy has his disinfestation company, while Mauricio Herrera hacks/pimps arcade machines at request.

Remember BJS trying to- well, I won’t say intimidate- trying to unsettle Khirtsizde at a pre-fight presser?
Lol. The Georgian wasn’t unsettled, was in fact conspicuously settled/un-unsettled.

Though I did tip a York lad off once it wouldn’t be a good idea to try tax Tony Booth, he thought he was just an old man!
