My Dad says I was named Leonard after SRL. He won the Val Barker a few months before I was born so the timing fits but it could all be BS.

My son is called Jake after Jake Lamotta. I also got married on Jake LaMotta's birthday. Sad I know.

My eldest daughters middle name is "Touch of Sleep" after Davarryl Williamson.

My youngest girl`s middle name is "The Secret".

I thought it only right to pay the respect that was due.

If I had a boy he`d be called Fuk Yo Tu after the Korean amateur.

Weve had several pets, a few hamsters, Bruno and Boxer. We had a cat that was murdered called Tubbs, not after Tony Tubbs though. Tubbs from League of Gentlemen.

I deal with some different benefits in my job, and have seen quite a few kids called Rocky. Even had a Rocky Tyson first and middle name. His mother looked like she'd done a few rounds with both of them.

I have a shifty looking cat that I've never trusted. I tried to give him a lethal shot once, but he survived. He now goes from house to house sucking up to whoever gives him the most love but is happy to turn his back on anyone who he feels has let him down.

Haven't given him a name yet, so any ideas are welcome.

I think it's pretty sweet actually.
I remember watching Barry McGuigan on fight night once. He told the story of going to the hall of fame and seeing Jake Lamotta. He loved Lamotta, had named his son after him and introduced himself telling him the story. Lamotta said, "Oh Yeah." and carried on. Even when telling the story, the rest of the panel were laughing about something else and missed the punchline. Poor Barry.

Lamotta probably couldn't understand a word Barry was saying because he wouldn't be used to hearing his Northern Irish accent.
