No silver spoon either. Started off as a fish Porter and villain. Sadly he cast Billy aside when he moved on to bigger things.

Yes, the two brothers were never close because Billy was only a boy when George left the family home.

BrentWalker was a big FT100 company back in the 80s. Didn't George end up in Moscow running a string of betting offices/gambling establishments after being caught naughty eventually?
Billy was obviously from a different kettle of fish.

Hasn't Scott Welch got a load of old people's homes?

Billy Joel boxed as a decent amateur?
Re: Boxers who have been most successful after retiring
Nope, no bet, I called it 10 years ago. These pathetic post Berto matches have been keeping him afloat.
I would like to have Berto under the same banner, but it was a boxing match, although a low quality opponent for an ATG to go out on.

Technicaly you could count all the ex pros that became successful trainers / promoters like Freddie Roach, Mayweather snr, Brendan Ingle, John David Jackson, and Mickey Duff (I think mentioned)...
Also Jake Paul once he retires from Boxing

Froch does very well out of property. His brother Lee & his best mate do the work on the houses as well so I imagine they’re well looked after.
