I saw Harry fight 4 times when he was under the same promotional banner (Panix) as my cousin -Luan Krasniqi at the elephant 97, beating Micheal sprott for the southern area at york hall in 98, beating Micheal Holden at york hall 99 and in 2000 when he lost to the under-rated Alex Vasiliev also bethnal green! Harry was great to watch and always gave 100% And had some cracking results without just going that step further. I wish him all the best with his recovery.

Very worthy cause Eric, Saw Harry a few times and always thought he had ability beyond what he achieved, he was a good British heavyweight thats for sure. This is close to my heart as my Dad had a major stroke at 49 and never spoke another word until he died at 72, they can do a lot more now and hopefully Harry makes a full recovery.
Give him our best Eric and good luck with all that you are doing
