BoxRec

Hi boxrec, I'm sure by now you have all heard about the accident that happened on Friday night, Jerome is still on the critical ward in Sheffield receiving the best medical help possible, we are all absolutely devastated and hoping and praying he can pull through, sat around being upset isn't going to help Jerome or his family so I've decided to come out of retirement to fight my arch rival tommy boom boom coyle over 6 rounds on Sunday 28th of September in hull, it's going to be £10 entrance and there's a auction, people have donated some fantastic memorabilia for us, I'll be auctioning my shorts robe and gloves from my fight with willie limond, I'm pleading with any of you to please come down and show your support to one of our fallen soldiers, let's try and raise as much as we can to ease the pressure on his family, this has had a massive response and the boxing people have really rallied around to try and get this going, I'd like to say a massive thanks to tommy coyle and Jamie Moore for taking time out of there fight preparation to help with this, they didn't have to but never even hesitated, any help by you guys or suggestions on how we can raise a bit more will be welcomed, once again it got proved to me that boxing people are the best people in the world, really rallied together, makes me proud to be in the gang #JeromeWilsonFundraiser

That's a really nice touch Curtis. Show's what a good guy you are. By the way, for any of us that cant get to the fight due to where we are in the country, is there like a page or something where people can donate? If not maybe one could be set up.

Thanks pal, we are hopefully getting a page set up today, dave coldwell and his team are on with that side of things, I'll post it up here when it's done pal, takes a bit longer than first thought

Ur a good lad curtis..hope jerome pulls thru and can live a decent life.

great work Curtis, if they make a movie about you its going to seem far fetched

I'll definitely donate. I boxed jerome and he was a nice kid , when he wernt trying to cave my face in. Terrible shame. Well done by the way Curtis. Your a star

How's this kid doing and what's the early prognosis?

Raising proceeds for Jerome Wilson Sheffield Boxer – Update on Donation Method

As you all know, Jerome Wilson unfortunately suffered a severe head injury in the ring on Friday night.

Jerome has now undergone life saving brain surgery and is currently in a critical condition.

Obviously due to the severity of the injury, Jerome will be in recovery for a long time and his boxing career is now over.

Jerome is self employed and raising a family of four children. The burden on his wife, Michelle, is huge and there will be no income coming into their household. Thank you for the donations that have been made so far, it is of great help.

We now have a more secure way of transferring funds to Michelle via paypal.

Please send cheques made payable to M.L.Boyce at Coldwell Boxing, Olympic House, 131 Masbrough Street, Rotherham, S60 1HW.

Many thanks,

Dave, Spencer, Damien, Katie, Beth, Matt and Lee - Coldwell Boxing

Piss poor right now, but will donate when I get paid again.

Good effort Curtis #classact

UPDATE: This is how we stand today jerome has had a few set backs during the night so doctors are not going to be reducing his sedation today as planned. They are assessing his condition on a day by day situation so please all keep him in your heart and thoughts. Please remember he is extremly crically ill and will remain in a suduced coma untill further notice. All we ask is would you all respect the medical staffs decision on the no visiting for the time being. thankyou michelle and family.xxx

To post a photo
1. Click reply to thread
2. The box to write your post in will open.
3. At the top where you can choose to bold and underline posts there will be an option saying Img, click it and this will come up -
4. Find the image you want to post online
5. Then right click the image you want to post and select copy image URL.
6. Copy and paste into the gap between the two [img] things
7. Submit the post

If the photo isn't on the internet then you'll need to post it from your computer onto the internet first. Facebook, flickr, photobucket and a few others will be fine to do that, then follow the same steps as above.

Hopefully that works and you get the picture up.

Brilliant lads, response has been incredible, let's do Jerome and his family proud, once again your help is amazing x

I'll go £40 on the poster.

I'll see if I can't get something going in my local too, quite a few local boxing fans in there. Let me know if your auctioning anything else off Parson, I'm sure I might be able to get a few decent bids. Image of the poster for me to share about would also be appreciated.
