Pete Buckley to retire - hats off to an unsung ring hero

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

No, you're right, I'm not a sports reporter; my usual style is general features, which is what this is for. I asked the BBBC first of all - they said they had no details for him that they were 'able to give' me.

Katy... please don't throw any low punches in your article. Buckley and boxing deserves better than some of of the articles from journalists who have jumped on the anti boxing wagon.

Thanks

Danny Boy

Very true. Katy, please show him for the warrior that he was

[hack1]

I'd like to show him for the warrior he still is, if I can manage to speak to him. We only have The Sun's word (and his words taken from a 3 year-old interview) that he's retiring, don't we? Or does anyone here know something I don't? Seriously, can anyone think of a clever way to contact him, or his trainer/ manager, Nobby Nobbs (no answer at the number I've got for him today)? I'd like to give him a chance to speak for himself, but as you've gathered I'm not exactly an expert on the boxing world...
