Good effort. The fighter is of a similar stocky build to Lewis (and similar pygmentation), but taller - though he only just met the fire service entry criteria of 5ft 6ins.

Wasn't Ady the smallest ever UK proffesional boxer?
Was Jake Matlala the smallest ever proffesional in history, or is that smallest ever world champion?
As for the question, I really now don't know - can't think of many Commonwealth champions built like Ady.
Also I didn't think that the height restriction rules still applied in the emergency services, that ruling is about as dated as the ref being the only judge in British title fights.
