One of my favourite fighters ever!!! Always great to watch and a BIIIG HITTER! Any good stories or news on what he's up to these days?

see him working the corners quite often now

He was in the corner with Maurice Coore on Saturday helping out Foster Junior. Looked like he's still about 11 stone and as fresh faced as ever.

I think he's tied in some way to larches ABC in preston- think his son boxed there? Burke was class- he used to take me over to the Pheonix to train. Amazing experience as a young lad.

I noticed that, he looked pretty trim. Apparently walks round at his old walking around weight (12/half stone)

I know he went inside for a bit (?), I thought he'd be gone for a while given the charges.

He's got about 500 kids, hasn't he? Well divide that by one hundred and you're about there. it is probably Liam who boxes at Larches.

Not sure, really good guy though- really inspired me as a youngster. Three time Commonwealth champion- not a bad little CV
