Maybe the first real sports star in Denmark. He had the charisma, the women, the cars, the money and the looks. He is a member of the Danish hall of fame and deservedly so.

A fine ambassador for our sport has left us.

RIP Tom Bogs.

Any type of dementia is a slow goodbye I wouldn't wish on anyone. R.I.P. Champ.

Agreed & it's the likes of the alphabet IBF/WBO Euro baubles that's caused it. The once prestigous Commonwealth championship has also suffered a similar fate due to pan African, Asian, Pacific & Oceana ****les!!....
