Bit rusty bit old but still like to have a little move around 🥊
So after the release of the new Giant movie about Prince Naseem and Brendan Ingle i've had a lot of people asking me what i know about the situation and i've seen lots of my old stable mates saying their piece so thought i'd give my 2 pence.
First off i don't know Naseem, i walked in to the Ingle gym at 13 years old which by then Naz had retired from boxing. I spent the next 7 years getting trained by Brendan and listening to his stories about boxing and life and just like many of the lads in the gym he was like a second dad to me, trying his best to educate us and teaching us all the way of the world.
It's a sad day to hear Naz say the negative comments about Brendan, especially when he is no longer around to defend himself but all the lives he changed for the better is making us all give our opinion and i think everyone that knew Brendan agree's what Naz has said is far from accurate. Brendan wasn't all about the money, he was a humble man who would give anyone his time and even the shirt off his own back. He would take groups of us young lads around the local area litter picking and keeping the place clean. He would encourage us all to get a education. He would say never lie, cheat, steal or take drugs and don't go fooling around with more than one women because if you have one women trust me you have enough problems. He was a very humble and grounded man and in my eyes he was a profit in the boxing world.
I won't ramble on too much but Brendan Ingle was one of those once in a lifetime individuals and it was a honour to of known him and been trained by him.
Rest in peace Brendan Ingle MBE ❤️
