jukel123 6,570 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Few celebrities have met me but I can't remember their names. I don't buy this 'famous' thing. 'A man's a man for a' that'. The only man I would walk across the road and ask to shake his hand would have been Ali. Not just for his boxing but because he was, an exceptional human being. Your right Jukel, a man is a man & a woman is a woman. Bet their are some exceptional examples of both, your not likely to see them in Hello magazine or in the big brother house. But when your in need they are there to help. Real heroes, who im sure most would agree should be rewarded more highly than they are. The world really needs a shake-up on who we idolize thinking about it. Yeah, I was thinking the same. Particularly with all these terrorist atrocities and tragedies like Grenfell, the NHS staff, firemen and the police have been immense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jukel123 6,570 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) I use to train at the same gym as Delroy Bryan and Fidel Castro Smith ("Slugger O'Toole"), two of the less known British boxing champions. Sometimes had a bit of a spar with them - cracking lads, both of them - too good for me, mind ! Ingles gym ? No mate. The one in the link. Me and a few others used to wear burkas and spar with them. Some of them were pushovers, but others suspected we were in disguise and started eye gouging and head butting so we packed it in. first-gym-specifically-for-muslim-women-to-open-in-the-uk-5856870 Edited July 21, 2017 by jukel123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes had a bit of a spar with them - cracking lads, both of them - too good for me, mind ! Ingles gym ? No,no,no.....they're both Nottingham lads ! When I went there it was called The Pulse. Not far from Sneinton market (Tomo might know it). Owned by Tony "Can't for the life of me remember his name" but I think it was Laing - himself a British champion......it was 20 years ago ! If memory serves, Fidel had pretty much called it a day, and Delroy was in his twilight.....like I said, though, both still waaaaay too good for me ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If memory serves, Fidel had pretty much called it a day, and Delroy was in his twilight.....like I said, though, both still waaaaay too good for me ! I'm positive Brendan ingle trained the boy slugger otoole at some point. Even if they are way too good for you that's still some experience trading hands with men like that. I've managed to meet a few boxers myself none like yours in a gym tho. Met evander holyfield. Few of us at about 12 years old skipped school to meet him at a book signing. I'm actually taller than him now but still remember and imagine looking upto him like a giant. It's a learning experience ! Makes you realise that the pro's are in a different league - no matter how good you think you might be ! I knew someone who got in for a friendly spar with Herol Graham (another Nottingham lad !) - he said it was like trying to punch your own shadow ! Three minute round.......never touched him once ! Ingle may well have handled Fidel at some point. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
