BoxRec

I will miss the way he dances around the ring he is a great ref....won't be the same without him.

Ricky hatton will miss him for sure he was his pet ref for 9 fights it got fornicating Embarrassing to see him at what seemed like every fight Ricky had for me I never rated him he was always up his own arse acted as if he was more important than the boxers

A very god ref and a good bloke .

His last UK show will be the VIP 'Jolly Boys ' this Sunday at the Reebox in Bolton.

Fitting that he will be leaving at a sold out venue with top prospects for the future fighting.

Top ref

He is a damn site better than joe cortez that old bastard is a shockin ref.
I would love to read a micky van autobio......he represents england at over 60s 60m sprint I heard lol

Sad to see him go. He was a great help to me as I made my way up through the ranks. Hopefully I will still get to work with him somewhere around the world. He has had his autobiography published. Its called "Give Me A Ring". Published by Mainstream and still available at WH Smiths

Won't be the same without him - he's a proper character - his book is a good read. He's led a fairly colourful life. Had to love him ripping into Lennox and Bruno in their fight - this tiny little chap wagging his finger at the two of them like naughty school kids!

good luck in the future mickey and all the best with your retirement, you've been a great ref and a good role model for the sport. All the best for your future mate
