Just imagine if his right hand was not mangled .. what a champ he would have been

My Grandfathers favourite fighter, it’s wonderful seeing him doing so well now as a older statesman of the sport. He made the best of his mistakes and came out a stronger man for it

What a great tribute to one of Britain's greats 👍 I think his wife deserves a championship belt of her own....I'm glad be found peace ❤🥊

Proper Legend of the Game

Thanks for this Rich. I remember John Conteh when I was a kid in the 70s. A likeable guy and a highly skilled boxer. These days mental health and anxiety are all out in the open; back then it was taboo - shameful even Very sad.  How fortunate for him that his wife stayed with him through thick and thin.

Gave me 50p in town once...probably the best to come out of our city tbf even upto this day. Legend!

I was in a rehab with his brother and being from over the water and brought up in the '70s had some great conversations about John. True warrior no matter how his career ended.

Thanks Rich.
For a lot of us Brits who were around in the seventies Conteh was and still is an icon.
Great episode as per usual.
Also pleased that John was able to come through his demons.

Was an honour to be at Johns place in a beutiful part of London many years ago. Kept the signed photo he gave me too this day

Back in the 80s I was a mini cab driver in Herts. I would often drive John around, even to meet Ronnie Corbett at a charity golf match. John was very friendly and very humble.

Beautiful boxer

As a lifelong boxing fan and ex amateur boxer myself I have always considered Mr Conteh as pound for pound one of the very best to come out of the UK. Definetely the best light heavyweight

Conteh hero on mine as a kid in the 1970’s along with Alan Minter.

One of my all time favorites, thank you

Was 6 years young when I first saw this brilliant man . Because of John Conteh I fell in love with boxing 🥊 Good to hear you're still remembered champ 🏆 from David North Norfolk coast East Anglia England ❤🤍💙🇬🇧🎸🤘💫🦸

Still a champion one of Liverpools greatest son's

Great boxer.    John. The man.  ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤   thanks

John is doing really well nowadays. Doing after dinner speaking and meets and greets. And the best thing is, he is as sharp as a tack, and has all his faculties. Anyway Rich - Thanks Again. Bless You.🥊🥊🥊👍🙏

One of my all time boxing heroes. He was English yet fought like an American. Use anything like elbows to do the damage. Brilliant

Thanks Rich! As a kid  I remember JC being everywhere on TV and in the media. He really was a huge star back in the 70's here in The UK. Growing up  in Kirby in the 60's would be enough to challenge anyone I would imagine. A tough life from the very beginning. Through it all though he always seemed to have a smile on his face. A true scouser! Great video.
