| NOSHER POWELL Nosher Powell is the ultimate hard man. Boxer, bouncer, minder, stunt man, he is truly a force to be reckoned with. As a heavyweight champ he was equally at home in the world of unlicensed fighting as he was in the professional arena. He sparred with such legends as Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson and Muhammed Ali, learning all their secret tricks of the trade, which also proved useful when he trained with bare-knuckle fighter Roy "Prettyboy" Shaw. In seventy eight professional fights Nosher was never once knocked out. For more information on Nosher visit the site: http://www.nosherpowell.freeserve.co.uk/ |
