Is he called 'The Bomb' for his punch?

To be honest I don't know Simon. I suppose he just goes off like a bomb when upset . Think he could bang a bit too

Cheers Johnny; when you on next? Please give me a nod when you're in this neck of the woods (south yorkshire), there'll be a few of us and we can shout a bit.

Thanks a lot Simon mate . I will do. Normally get a couple of passes so if there's one going, feel free to have it

i was not refering to you mate

Sorry southpaw. I weren't biting I was just letting you know. For the record, you were right, people do get up his hole. & Christ , the amount of lemons that have third to tell me their best mates or related, some young impressionable boys really look up to that sort of thing.

Johnny, was Jango involved in the unlicensed or bare knuckle boxing scene like Roy Shaw?

no i dont think he had any bare knuckle mate he might of had a few unlicenced fights but most of his time has been spent in prison

Yeh, to be honest , I don't know, think southpaw is right as is never heard about much on the unlicensed scene. I had 45 on them & some of the old faces have been on the unlicensed circuit for years & never dealt with him.

Imagine being put in a cell with that man. I bet the screws could tell a few tales.

Rather him than Purple Aki - lets hope one day Purple Aki makes a visit to the eastend - they would all go running for cover!

The dad of a mate of mine is a security guard in a shopping centre in Preston and had to tackle Purple Aki a couple of years ago (I cant remember what it was he'd done now). It took four security guards to keep him pinned to the floor. :)

Saw him once when i was about 16 in WH Smiths in Wigan reading the bodybuilding mags. I didnt hang around. But then he'd not have much interest in me anyway being only 5 foot 6 and 9 stone wet through.

I put all of his new infamy down to his publicist Carlos-Wigan. Single handedly promoting this nut-job for a decade;-)

Can't say I've ever heard of that fella mate. I suppose every place has it's "characters."
Lenny Mclean, Hoxton;
Billy Williams, Canning Town; (very feared)
Roy Shaw, Dagenham;
Paul Sykes, Wakefeild.


Just looked up that bloke (purple Aki), he's not a fighter, ...just a nonce case. :!:

I've just googled him (Aki) as well; he's not a well man at all is he?

Theres Hardcases&nutters most citys&towns...A real hard nut wouldnt bother with the nonsense of writing books&doing interviews etc..

I just read about him,what a weird dude!

Is he a bully with it or only does something if you get mouthy,etc?

There was a man in Edlington, Doncaster like that. He'd go out on the lash and batter his mates; if he were drunk enough he'd pick some dog shit up and eat it for a laugh. Orbtastic will know of him; his initials were PK (there was grafitti on The Royal pub in Edlo saying 'Free PK')

I know a man from Donny who ate horse shit, but not dog shit.

Paul Kenyers, local hard nut and master of intimidation

I talk shit, ...but eating it.
