Am in the video a couple of times, I didn't even know I could sing
It was a great day not only did we get to sing in The Famous Abbey Studios but Spending time with The Legends Of Boxing top it off

Nicky Piper sporting a beard and shorter hair than in his fighting days. Power has outed himself already !
Struggled to recognise the older boxers, other than John H Stacey AND John Conteh.

Yeah, looks like he's really throwing himself into the singing
Quite a character transformation because as BBBofC chief he was understated.

Is that piper at 320 who looks like a spitting image of louis theroux
Re: 'Never Give Up'.. can you name the Champions?
I recognise Jimmy Batten on the zebra crossing on the left. Jimmy went 10 rounds with a supposedly shot Roberto Duran in Miami in November 1982 in the show-closer to the magnificent Pryor-Arguello first encounter. Nobody stayed to watch it but Duran was champ again seven months later..
Terry Waller is also in there, a brilliant amateur who won five ABA titles and beat the likes of Maurice Hope and Dave Green en route. Harry Holland is there, along with Johnny Oliver, Spencer's Uncle and a man who helped develop Anthony Joshua at Finchley ABC. Stacey Copeland is the bird, daughter of Eddie. Eddie is the last fighter to defeat Terry Marsh, flooring and outpointing him in the 1979 ABA finals.

I worked with a girl who was apparently Terry's girlfriend/fiance(?) at one time. 'He was supposed to be okay', she said.......'Ok, more than ok', I told her, 'he won 5 titles!' Don't think she cared much for Boxing lol....

Only three men have won more ABA titles than Waller: Joseph Steers and Chris Bessey (six apiece) and John Lyon (eight).
