Bruno is the obvious one because he was around that level for long enough to have done it.

Didn't McCrory beat Tee Jay in a tight one to win the British
title? (as well as defend his commonwealth title)
Apologies in advance if it aint so!

I say you're both right I haven't a clue to be honest as I'm not old enough to remember......I took the words from the horse's mouth a matter of weeks ago but I obviously took them out of context.......I think it was just after Kevin Anderson lost (when he would have won the belt outright) and Mccrory said it bugged him to this day that he never got to keep his.
(it was always going to be unlikely Glenn hadn't won the title, given the weight and the country we're talking about here, for a boxer of his skills/physique).
