I loved his fights with Francis Ampofo.
As for the report above he trains a couple of coked up unlicensed fighters in his garage and then on local shows they walk around like big time Charlie's really.

He's earning off these unlicensed "fighters" so fair play to him in a way. Easy money for him. It's a little disappointing to see quality trainers reduced to working on these shows but it pays the bills.
Can't possibly comment on the drugs thing though.

Anyone from the area knows he is 'earning his money' through other avenues.

I'm from the area. As I say, I can't possibly comment on the drugs thing
I know most of the people who take part in these unlicensed shows. Be it trainers, fighters and the "promoters" themselves. I'm not a big fan. One certain "promotion" is amusing though, beyond cringeworthy, but entertaining in a way I guess.

Which promotion? We have a few.

GBBU. The in ring interviews, ring walks etc, someone calling the fights on a microphone as they are "boxing"! As I say, entertaining in a way. Not my cup of tea but each to their own I guess.
I know most of those involved with the other promotion that debuted Saturday just gone up Lordswood too. Again, not really my thing. I can never work out why these "fighters" don't go down the am club and do it properly. Can only assume thats taking it too serious?

I loved watching Johnny. Great action fighter.
He lives close to my sister & I remember her telling me a few years back he was known as a naughty chap.

He was always a decent bloke. Just attracted the wrong type. A fair amount of divs live on the same estate as him ( plenty of nice people too by the way )
Chatham's favourite fighting son though, no doubt
