Former lightweight contender Graham Earl has been sentenced in seven years in prison for his role in a ******* distribution ring, according to British newspaper the Leighton Buzzard Observer.
Earl “was one of five men who worked for prolific drugs dealer Christopher Collins,” the report said.
The 36-year-old turned pro in 1997 and won his first 22 fights before dropping a decision to future titleholder Ricky Burns in 2005. Two years later, Earl was part of a highly entertaining five-round loss to Michael Katsidis. Later in 2007, Earl was blown out in 72 seconds by Amir Khan, then lost in 69 seconds to Henry Castle in late 2008. He ended that three-fight losing streak with a points win in June 2009 over a 16-125-7 opponent named Karl Taylor, then stepped away from the ring. [Click Here To Read More]
