I saw him in lydls in Ringwood and wondered whatever happened to him? I thought he was boxing abroad under a foreign licence, but his record shows he hasn't boxed in a while. Has he packed it in?
As a local lad I used to watch him at Golden Ring and his hands were like lightening. Funny, cos I wouldn't have noticed him, but he was larking about play fighting with a little girl and I couldn't help notice his good form. Thought to myself "Christ he knows what he's doing" then it dawned on me who it was.

A real shame that he couldnt get licensed by the BBBofC, which really held him back from making the progress he wanted to in the professional ranks.
A really skilled fighter that could have gone far.

Agreed. I spent a few years in southampton studying, Iain looked really good in the gym, and with the exception of Alex dil, I haven't seen a talent from the Hampshire area as good. Tony hill and king were also solid.
Hope Iain starts fighting again

Alex Dilmaghani is a good fighter, re-located to mexico and has sparred a lot over there. JMM etc. I bet he's improved a lot over last few years, training with calibre of gym mate. Hopefully he starts his own career back up.

I heard about that, he's with nacho now or something. I always wondered why he never was given a big deal over here, I know Iain can't get a license medically, but Alex seems the full package, I always thought he was like 28 or something, he's only still 23, bags of time. I hope both make it to the top, they both have that level of talent

I saw him in costa coffee the Monday morning after the senior fight. The state of the cut confirmed that boxing is no way to make a living.
