R.I.P to George Kimball, fantastic author of books such as Four Kings featuring Duran, Hearns, Hagler and Leonard.

Highly recommend having a read if you haven't already.

He had a regular article in the Irish Times and while I often had to read his sentences twice to discern the full meaning he was a died in the wool old school boxing writer.

Was one of the famous Lionshead bar gang in New York.
