Nobby just walked away from the sport altogether last i heard he was still working part time down Birmingham Wholesale Market as hes has for many years I beleive the landlord evicted him from his gym and Nobby just walked away which is a great shame coz he was a real character

Yep its a brave move but looks like its paid off for him, though i do miss him as BN editor

I miss him too, Im not knocking the current editorials but Claude was top notch.....IMHO

agreed i also liked him when he did the odd bit on setanta about the fight before hand, i remember him on the calzaghe kessler show on the monitors in the stadium

Panos Elliadas now there is a blast from the past.

i remember the boxing news editorials claude did after being allocated a ticket to a FW show by the man himself. claudes seat was right behind a huge view obscuring strut.

the spat between them was worth the magazine price alone

Yes forgot about Jack he was a real character

Think he just retired from promoting, he must of been in his 70's when he did that. Going by memory it must of been when Michael Brodie retired after losing to Harrison. 2005.
