Anyone remember this welter , boxed for wales, and when he turned over be boxed out of stoke, as his dad had connections obviously in our area, think he fought here 3 or 4 times As a pro,

Was a nice little buzz in stoke having adopted him as one of ours, then he lands himself in It

Shame that was ,stoke took to him to,

Could possible done ok maybe just below British title level

This was Mickey Thomas' boy? Good amateur and probably had the making of fringe British champion as a pro.

I knew him from the amateurs and my brother used to spar with him quite a good fighter and really nice guy. I heard he was out of prison and involved in MMA now

He isnt on the gear. Wouldnt say "he doesnt have boxers physique" either - hes not a meat head by any stretch. Hes around 11 and a half stone.

Promotes MMA and boxing shows in North Wales. Still competing, favours MMA. Earns a living doing "box fit boot camp" and doing circuit / boxing sessions.

Wanted to go back pro but couldnt get pro liscence as hes on liscence following the armed robbery. Think thats up next year, he'll be 33 then.
