He was actually going to go to the Olympic trials i believe but his mum didn't want him going, or some silly shit like that it could be all BS though. As for for the orignal question who knows ? i've never seen Ray Winstone fight, i've seen a few Micky Rourke fights and i thought he was crap to be honest, but i do think Ray Winstone is a much better actor
Heres little bit about his boxing carrer Bilbo.
Boxing coach Tony Burns recalls: "I coached Ray until he was about 16.
Once you put the gloves on him, he was very aggressive. That was his style. He always wanted to win so badly. He just went after you, wanted to have a real fight, you know."
Dave Oldwell, 55, boxed with young Ray and went on to carve himself a glittering career in the ring, eventually captaining the British Olympic boxing team in 1976.
"I met him when he came to the gym aged 14," says Dave. "He was always picking the brains of the better fighters, asking whether his jab looked OK or how to balance his feet."
