I just wondered as I used to hear something's about him in the local Chester paper and then nothing. Just curious what
happened to him?

Omar was an absolute class act, would have won a title and be ready to fight Doran ifhe had continued.

Sadly he suffered from back problems and has a decent job so he jacked it in :-(

Thanks for the information mate. I reckon he would have given Doran a real good fight. Would have been a popular ticketseller
in the Chester / North East Wales region. Would have been the first to get a ticket for that one. Hope Omar is well these
days and enjoying life?

Remember him he was good

It was my dream fight. Doran-Gumati at the racecourse!

He seems happy, haven't spoken to him for a while! Will message him, say Tom called him a bum or something! haha!

I saw him fight Matvienko (who posts on here) to a draw at Bolton & it was a good fight. Slightly controversial so the promoters said that there would be a rematch sadly it never happened because Omar was ill. Definitely not doubting the above, but I seem to think it wasnt a bad back at that time. Anyway the top & bottom of it is the rematch never happened.

If you did tell him to get 8) - thanks for the info mate

He boxed very well that night I underestimated him but he started very well and was boxing quality at times. I didn't have my usual snap had to grind him down which I felt I did in the later rounds. I think I brought the best out of him that night and was a good scrap as well as per usual!!

Belter, one of the best fights I've seen live

Good fighter, could have done things, well avoided in the industry, frozen out at times, real shame.

I reported on the Shaun Farmer one, undercard of Chris P Bacon beating tony moran on a sunday afternoon. Aside from a scouse chap shouting "come on tone" every 2 seconds form behind me my lasting memory is being stuck for things to write between rounds of your fight.

I did the randall fight too, although I dont remember that as much as I do it was the first time I'd seen Mark Thompson fight as he was also on the undercard. Mark looked good that night, then the next time I saw him he was woeful (in my opinion) against a Russian bloke on the undercard of Moore Macklin.

Good times.

Where is Thompson there days?

Is he out of nick?

Yea and Bacon vs Moran was a slug fest was funny at weigh in just after Tony weighed in he said "Buzzing now I made weight bin dying for a bacon butty!!" then realised what he said as Chris was looking at him ha ha!!

Randall was at Shaw I think it may be Jack dougherty gym even as it was his show in a gym up there? Mark boxed Ernie Smith in his 3rd bout (1st of 2 vs Ernie)

Yes he was on Macklin vs Moore aswell and I think he will be boxing soon as he is training hard

Wales is that a dig or complement as everytime i watch our bout its up and down from one minute to the next i really dont see how the ref could pick a winner it was two very evenly matched lads fighting there hearts out leaving nothing out the ring????

In no way a dig there was too much going on! Usually you have a solid couple of moments in a round of an undercard fight that you mention in what is usually a shorter report than the headline. You guys just went berserk. I remember not making notes because I was trying to keep up with the action.
