I'm trying to remember a British fighter from the late 80s early 90s. I think he was a Welter or one division up or down. He was a British Champion who had lost a few early fights. He was a white bloke & I think he was from Carlisle. Heavy handed, but not heavily skilled.

Chris someone?

Saunders?

Saunders is from Barnsley. Charles Sheperd is from Carlisle but not welter nor called Chris!

Yeah, it wasn't either of them. I'm probably getting half a dozen boxers mixed up

He might have been from Bracknell. I just remember a crude, but powerful, fighter who upset a few favourites around Welter about 25/30 years ago.....

Geoff McCreesh.

Kostas Petrou, although from Brum?

McCreesh you mean. 100% fits that description and a Bracknell lad

Andy Till from Norhtolt ?

Scrap iron Ryan ? , dunno his Christian name .

It wasn't Scrap Iron. It was someone who was kind of a journeyman but got some decent wins late on.

Or maybe not

"F*ck you Beer" (shakes fist at sky)

Charles Shepherd?

McCreesh was from Billingham originally, via Port Clarence.

He left the north east cos he got in some "Trouble" I believe

I'd say Geoff McCreesh fits that description.

"T.M.K"

To be honest I think I might be merging Saunders, McCreesh & Shepherd into one person in my hazy memory

Didn't there used to be trouble in the crowd when he was fighting
