There was a prospect that was linked to kell brook when they both turned over, but he jacked it in very early. He was a traveller and I believe related to that paddy doherty bloke off the tele. Boxing Monthly (how I've missed that mag in lockdown lol) did an article where he was pictured jogging with loads of traveller kids. Its driving me crazy.

Enjoying this. Assuming we are just waiting on the anthems now and it will get started?

John O'Donnell was another good Traveller linked to Kell around 2009/10 when he was British champion.

Doherty was a quality amateur but didn't live the life in the pros, changed trainers a lot but would never knuckle down while still thinking he was world class.
Therefore no one wanted to invest their time or money so he was on the sidelines and put on a huge amount of weight.

From memory he lost to a postman on the undercard of a Enzo maccarinelli bill then Brook took him out afterward in Scotland in the first round. I remember Brook fighting at the york hall and Doherty was in the ring afterwards. Doherty didn't live the life.
