Good amatuer boxer for scarborough abc under tommy johnson had alot of ko's and stoppage wins and acheived alot in the amatuers, junior aba champion bronze medal in junior worlds in cuba etc. Didnt fufill his full potential as a pro 5-3-1. I saw him in a barnstormer of a 4 rounder with alex matvienko one of the best 4 round fights i ever saw.

I wish they had the red sky button in them days, too many good undercard bouts missed :cry: he boxed in the amateur tournament which Martin Murray won to didn't he ? Cant remember who elsevwas in it now :witzend: Best 4 light middles boxed to get on England squad?? I think he put some timber on and was debating on coaching

The box off was at crystal palace right??
If ash worth was the stocky tony Doherty look alike which I think he is ?
He caught Murray with a peach of a left & nut rays legs went & he just clamped on & like all great fighters came back! Murray did look very tight at 69kg which is welter

Hi guys im Ashworth
I Love boxing more than anything!!! Have great memories from travelling the country for club shows my fave a good gym war !!! Or jeting of to box for England before turning pro ( the darkside Haha) Like Glen mentioned probly
Never fullfiled my potential as a pro as like many young tallented fighters boxing was all I ever known 8-25 years old non stop wanted it to much burnt myself out. Had great am trainer in Tommy Johnson. but didnt know what I was letting my self in for as a pro. the dark shady buisness side tickets home corner! I just wanted to fight but didnt have the best guidence wen turning pro. I later hooked up with Neil fannon as trainer & he is a exceptional trainer & a old fashioned sraight talker says it how it is. taught me alot how to train to break a man down. traveling 120 miles a day to the gym & full time job took its toll on me injurys torn oblique & tendon op on hand finished me. Imnow working offshore got a young familly fat but happy. but like any fighting man its in my blood & words cant explain how much I miss boxing the training the people.
