?.... and your point is?

Black Boy pub..

Jimmy was released after 3 years for good behaviour and then became a born again Christian.

Tibbs completely turned his life around following his upbringing in the world of gangsters.

No mean feat.

The launch will be done at a host of eastend boozers

The Rose of Denmark looked like a friendly place to have a beer.

Jimmy is one of the nicest people I've meet in boxing and very knowledgable in every aspect of boxing.
His record as a coach is as good as anyone's and should be recognised IMO
And his son Mark seems to be following in his footsteps.
Good luck to both

Most people involved in boxing seem to have history in one form or another so its not suprising, it seems to come hand in hand with the sport. There are lots of gangsters over the years, all makes good reading too

Hasn't Tony Sims got similar form? In fact, a good few of our trainers struggle to get into America.
