Boxed for Elmfield House ABC and was an outstanding amateur winning Schools, NABC and Junior ABA titles. Gabbitus was expected to represent Great Britain at the 1980 Moscow Olympics but was encouraged to turn professional at the age of 17 by manager John Rushton. He had a professional career that spanned some 17 years but fought only sporadically and it would be fair to say that Gabbitus never fulfilled his potential in the paid ranks.
