Remember reading a few years ago that he had some kind of dementia or something? Haven't heard anything since. Anyone got any info?

I live in Oldbury where Howard was from.

First of all I heard he was in a nursing home in Oldbury.

Then a mate at work who knows I follow the boxing says that he sees Howard in his local.

According to my mate H likes a drink and likes reefers even more.

So to be honest I don't know what to believe.

I had a look and I see a post on Twitter from Gary Lockett saying he was having a few drinks with Howard. The picture has him looking perfectly normal.

It does make me think that the original diagnosis may have been overblown.

I owe him a drink. I got a refund off the lewis v holyfield ppv because sky didn't show his fight with vargas on the undercard live. from memory they had some boring ali shit on instead.

I phoned up and complained and they gave me my money back

Real nice bloke is Howard, I hope he is well
