Former WBC world champion, the enigmatic, charismatic Kirkby man John Conteh, was at Rooney’s Gym in Borough yesterday where he spoke to Southpaw Jab. Part of a day to raise awareness of Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease (YOPD), John joined other former champions, current pros and boxing people, as well as those from the charity, a Parkinson’s nurse and people with YOPD, to take part in exercises, advice and fun.
John spoke to Southpaw Jab’s Adam Thorn about his fantastic career, and at length about a certain British heavyweight he thinks will continue to rule the world!
