Brian ****erill, gangster of UK underworld, mentions Fury, Jones Jr,Tyson, Ali, Hamed

Depends if you like these types of interviews with ex-gangsters. To me they can be pretty entertaining and this one has a fair share of boxing references thrown in..

... it's not about "liking" here... it's about information relevance, I guess...

Are you from the same area?

Yes im from Newcastle. Those guys ruled the roost for a couple of years until ****erill was incarcerrated, thats when they went after Duffy.

They were getting jobs up and down the country there reputation was that high. Regardless of what you hear or read they were the two most feared in that region, of course you had the likes of Viv Grahem and Billy robinson but they were more involved in security than taxing

Different things during the convo, just using them as examples in a way.. e.g. there was a UK gangster called Lee Duffy who was highly feared.. eventually he got stabbed to death.. anyway one of the hosts said he saw photos and thought "he's pretty boy and didn't look scary" then Brian says "so was Muhammad Ali and look how good he could fight".

Another example.. Brian says he squatted very heavy weights (upto 2000lb) and had huge thighs... "that's where the punching power came from, just look at Hamed and Tyson."

He mentions Fury's heart to come back from the final Wilder knockdown, and how good it was for him to talk openly about his depression.. then it ties into tales of his own depression and drug abuse....

Roy Jones Jr and Tyson mentioned again.. he says they carried on too far past prime and that the guys who beat them would have been destroyed if they'd fought 10 years earlier..

Good summary, thanks.

Lee Duffy was a legitimately scary bastard.
