Good photos.
Dorian isn't a boxer Eric ;) - Although I heard a rumour he was flattened by a kick boxer in Europe once. I think it was at some after-party thing after a show.
I read about it on an obscure body building board, where his fans couldn't believe "big Dorian" had been taken out by a smaller man. Obviously unable to comprehend that muscle doesn't equal victory in a fight, especially against someone trained in fighting.

Yes that Happened, it was a kick boxing champion, who came up behind him and hooked him, not the best preperation to defend yourself!!!

Zak Khan, my mate beat him at Paula and Steve's Mansfield BB show. He was a bit smooth then but he was freakishly big.
Kerry and Shawn Ray later did a seminar and I sat next to him. He had a cooler bag with 3 meals in it and this was 8pm at night. He was only about 19 I think. Although he's never gonna win an elite show, he's minted now through endorsements.

Hi Eric
These are truly great! What a fantastic history you have. You probably won't remember me but I used to go to the same Gym, Bodyzone. I heard Steve wasn't well. My prayers are for him.
We used to talk fight films and you gave me some great help and advice.
Fantastic stuff.
regards

No, that was in Bulford, I passed my Referees a year later, normally you would take 2 years, but as I was with the Army ABA and London ABA, I was out 3 nights a week, and was getting great exp,
one of the coaches there next to me, is now a Pro ref, Chris Kelly, up in Scotland

There can be few collections to rival it, I'd have thought. Was that little Irish fella in there who used to be very successful. Please don't ask me his name. I read about him in a feature in the BM a couple of years back, and I thought I spotted him somewhere. Possibly a fly or a bantam I think..
