Went over to fight the unbeaten Kameda as an underdog. His own trainer didn’t come as he’s scared of flying & he won well on points.

Brilliant performance.
Who was his trainer at the time?

Dave Hulley. Myself and a friend were training amateurs at the same gym(The Empress in Mexbrough)at the time. Hulley claimed to have been an unbeaten pro boxer before he started coaching but I don't think he'd had any pro bouts.

If you mean first fight in US and not first pro fight

Very good technical performances

Paul Ingle vs Junior Jones

Scott Harrison vs Tracy Harris Patterson

I was travelling on a bus back from the Ingle's gym one evening and overheard some chap telling some other passengers he was a semi-pro boxer and did the proper boxing, not the messing about that Naseem Hamed did.

I take a semi pro as seriously as I take someone who is semi pregnant.

You're either licenced by the BBBC or you're not. You can't be semi-licenced.
