I do. He was a good fighter till they found out he had epilepsy. Then I think he got fired as a fireman also when they found out. Tough break all around.

Terry was a good fighter ;)

He was kind of a stand-up English-style pure boxer until changing his style against Manley and Kameda into a whirlwind of boxer-puncher swarming.

And no, he didn't shoot Frank Warren.

Warren seems to know, but it wasn't Terry Marsh. Warren has made a lot of enemies in his time and was supposedly having an affair or two at the time.



Has anyone seen Marsh's music video? Very odd.

Yes Marsh was a very good fighter, ex Marine as well I think, solid with good all round skills!

He was arrested I believe for the shooting of Warren but later acquitted (he may even have been imprisoned on remand?)

i fought at the terry marsh leisure centre a few months ago. . .
My dad got his autograph once after a fight in croydon once, and yeah he did do some time on remand for supposedly shooting warren.

He was a good fighter. I remember the shock when I found out his career was finished following the epilepsy discovery.

I never thought he was guilty of shooting Warren. As a former marine I'm pretty sure if he'd have shot Warren he'd have killed him.

How would Terry have fared with Ricky Hatton?

i think he spent a year in the big house whilst awaiting trial.

In the (very) few fights of his that I've been able to see, Marsh was really busy, great work-rate. He had sound boxing skills and would have proven to be a difficult foe for hatton. Hatton would have walked him down and stopped him though, maybe whilst behind on points.
