Jimmys been a great servant to Boxing, had a few Hilarious away Days with Him and Blackie, Great Guy

Great read Tel: nice to get the full story behind the Collins sparring collapse from someone who was there. Jimmy is a very interesting character - as I understand it he was a bit of a handful before finding God. Cracking trainer too. He has BJ Saunders now doesnt he? I wonder how he stacks up in terms of talent compared with the other big name fighters Jimmy has guided? I look forward to the next part.

Excellent questions Terry well done.

You should get the regular 'back of the mag' interview slot. The questions asked are infuriatingly 'standard' and dull for a trade paper.

How many times do we need to read that everyone thinks 'Mayweather' is the best boxer?, or that most boxers eat porridge?

Or that their fave film is Scarface? i hear u, but its not the author (especially as i do most of them lol) but the reliance on dated questions. questions that will b changing v soon.

oops, he he. Good to hear that they are changing, it is a real missed opportunity to ask questions specific and interesting to that particular boxer. BN ought to assume a good level of knowledge from its readership.

Terry D wrote:Interview with Jimmy Tibbs, below. The 63-year-old veteran talks pretty much everything, including Been-Eubank II, Watson-Eubank and Collins' sparring collapse. Feedback/comments appreciated. Was made up to talk with Jimmy, always admired him after seeing what he did for Nigel Benn's career. More to come and he talks Mitchell-Breidis in Friday's edition of the magazine.

Top man, top trainer - have always rated him and cannot understand why he isn't used more.

One of the very best.
