Coventry boxing violence continues...
Posted: 04 Jun 2004, 10:00
Joe Montague murdered, Shane Junior shot at, Steven Bendall slashed across the face...Coventry seems to have a long line of boxing-related violence.
It's now been revealed a man suffered a broken jaw in a gang attack after the Dazzo Williams-Roy Rutherford fight in Hereford on Wednesday night. The victim was attacked on a road close to the venue in Hereford.
The same man got in the ring after the Williams-Rutherford fight and allegedly hurled a racist remark at Rutherford, a black Coventry fighter.
The man was escorted from the ring and was, presumably, followed out of the arena by his assailants. The assault involved as many as eight men and Rutherford brought quite a few fans with him from his home city.
