I met him once... he came to see Paul Ingle train in Paul's childhood club in Scarborough, it was some sort of fundraising event at the club many years ago just before Paul had that fateful fight... he had quite a presence, big man ... I stood next to him. I didn't know who he was! Boxing not really being my thing. I was told about it soon enough though. Anyhow, it was nice to meet you, Sir. RIP.
