I have just heard than Ernie Smith has died, It is at the moment un-comfirmed but if he has RIP. Him and his brother are credit to British Boxing xxx

If it's unconfirmed I ain't sure it should be up on a forum? Not a great way for people to first hear who know him personally.
RIP if true, a rare thing being a journeyman who always gave it a go and really tested the prospect.

Shocking news. A genuine hard case. In 2005 he boxed Kell Brook (twice), Nathan Cleverley, Darren Barker and Anthony Small... amongst others. RIP Gypsy Boy.

RIP - him and his brother always gave fighters a good go and were often hard done by by the judges.

I didn't know him personally, unlike many on here but I am stunned by this news.
