his brother is a very successful and talented rapper called mic righteous. often talks about his bro in interviews.
That's mad. Didn't know they were related.
yeah apparently they had a tough old upbringing, and Takaloo was quite handy outside the ropes. Hes a decent lyricist. he did a song called The Pen that I really rate.
He made lots of defences of his wbu title, I wonder if he made a lot from that? Tough fella

Jawaid Khaliq was pretty decent. Skilled and only lost once. By all accounts he's running a gym now

He said he could crack though and he didn’t hate him. He did however tell me he hated takaloo. He was with a boxer at the time who I didn’t recognise and told me to look out for him but I don’t recall seeing him box.
wonder what Takaloo is up to these days, he had a big profile at the time didn't he
