Terry marsh where is he now

The former fighter was still officially a member of the Labour Party when he put himself forward for election as a Lib Dem. In his mind his Labour association had ended when he had decided that Labour no longer represented his views and needs, the actual bureaucracy of leaving the party had not entered into his mind. Whatever the truth, the reality is that Terry had elected to represent the Lib Dems instead only to stand down due to the fraud claims.

I found that a little bit irritating, to be accused of fraud and deception, as it actually qualifies me for a career in politics or the House of Lords at the least. I had left the Labour Party in my mind. It is a badge of honour in many ways. I still cannot find it. That is a shame. I would like to frame it. That is where I stand. One port of call on his chequered CV was the post-boxing after dinner speaking circuit; Marsh tried it immediately after his retirement, and then returned to it in I managed to catch one of engagements.

Starting off with some anecdotal stories, Marsh then moved on to the subject of boxing, astonishing some crowd members with a cynical view of the sport that had brought him such success. Eventually, though, Marsh won them all round, carefully explaining to them the apparent contradiction of a fighter who felt no lasting love towards the sport that had defined him. Suddenly they would be a few rounds down in a four round fight, and I would nick the decision. It had been surprising stuff, more out there than your usual after dinner fare.

For Marsh it is something that he did every so often, a means of conveying to people the realities of the sport. If the audience is with him, great, if he loses them, well it is one of the risks you have to take to walk your own line. I suppose I moved on, got older, and I talk in a different sort of a way.

I am not a comedian, I am a former sportsman and should relate those experiences that relate to the sport. Every audience is different in many ways, sometimes you get it right, sometimes you get it wrong, even though you are saying essentially the same thing for each one.

About the skinny, anaemic, frail-looking year-old who could not punch, was always getting in with bigger guys, and would always look like he was fighting his own dad in most of these fights up to a certain age.

People thought that I would eventually get beaten, but because I looked so frail people probably looked at me and thought they could blow me over. Marsh had hoped that turning pro would bring out the man strength needed to force stoppages. The punch power never came, and he had to rely on fitness, reflexes and the ability to counter punch.

The irony is that not being a puncher was probably a blessing in some respects. I worked on my skills and my fitness, every time I had a fight I was resigned to going the distance. So to come out undefeated, and to do it by winning British, European and the world titles, is pretty decent. I did all right as an amateur as well. Winning British and International honours. There was no evidence before my imprisonment.

They acted on assumptions. I was lucky really, just doing ten months. Some suspects get shot dead. The police said that the libel case was my motive for the shooting. We had the libel case and he lost — although I never won. Defendants never actually win court cases; you only hold your own. I went to prison for those ten months because of the libel laws, so I had time to learn a lot about it.

When I got out, I sued paper after paper for all the things alleged against me. I actually made more money out of libel actions than I did out of boxing. Others suggested that I had lied about the epilepsy diagnosis. Well, to be a successful author and publisher. A few years ago, I was a celebrity. Not at the moment because my happiness stands or falls on this book. I must be the softest-punching World Champion ever because I had more than fights, both amateur and professional, and I never knocked anyone out.

Education of the inmates and the screws [prison warders] is important. If they were to legalise and regulate drugs, it would help. So they come out bitter and twisted and who can blame them if they feel alienated.

On remand, I saw how Britain treats prisoners who are unconvicted and we have the audacity to sit in judgment of other countries. It seriously needs looking at. Well, the News Of The World destroyed him. Privately, they considered him a child but, publicly, they passed him off to their readers as an evil drug dealer. To do what they did just to sell newspapers was absolutely appalling.

They proved that he was a drug dealer by passing themselves off as Arab sheikhs and asking him to buy them drugs. Marsh retired in December after he was diagnosed as having epilepsy. However, subsequent squabbles between local councillors have seen this renamed the Eversley Leisure Centre, although the plaque bearing his image remains. Marsh was born in Stepney, East London, where he grew up in a small terraced house with his parents and three brothers.

Marsh attended Westminster City School between He then retired as undefeated IBF world champion. In September he announced that he had epilepsy.

The following year Marsh moved up to the light welterweight division and again reached the final but was this time defeated by Eddie Copeland. In , Marsh again moved up a weight, to welterweight, and again reached the final, defeating Edward Byrne.

He also won a multi nations gold medal representing England in the Philippines in capping an unbeaten international amateur record. Insisting it would be his last fight Marsh won, by a technical knockout in the seventh round. Relationships Record : We have no records of past relationships for Terry Marsh.
