I just saw that he has got a BBBC license.

I remembered him from a few years back when he got out of jail and was refused a license until his original sentance was spent(fairly normal procedure)

Anyway I did a Google and it seems he has spent the time inbetween doing the BIBA circuit and also doing his bit for charity as well as doing some programmes for kids with problems.

IFL has done plenty of interviews, seems a bit of a pal of Koogan, as well as BJS.

He seems quite confident of doing something in the pro's, he was in the England set up as a teenager, obv time is against him at 33, and he will need to do it the hard way as it seems he needs to sell tickets to get work, but then it seems he sells enough to get wins.

Let's see how he does and if he can keep busy.

That’s a bit extreme especially for a good quality boxer. And he had a mate.

Seems he had a very troubled backround, a criminal family.

Nevertheless he has kept his nose clean for the last 6 years which is an achievement in itself and hopefully means he has turned the corner.

Also he has been stopped by this guy on the BIBA circuit which doesn't bode well for pro titles.
