• PETER COLEMAN, the veteran manager and trainer and father of former
light-heavyweight Liam, passed away at his home in Leeds on September
29. He had been battling cancer since January, when doctors broke the news to
him that he had only six months to live.
Veteran manager Tommy Miller says Peter, who worked for him as a trainer,
never recovered from the sudden death of his son, who was killed, along with
his wife and baby, by a passing lorry when the former boxer was changing a
wheel on his car. Liam's son Daniel, now 16, was the only survivor of the horrific
accident.
"There was a terrific turnout for Peter's funeral at St. Augustine's church in
Leeds [September 26]," said Miller "Peter was well-liked and respected in the
boxing world. He will be sorely missed."

• BRENDAN INGLE wishes to thank all those who turned out in Sheffield last
Saturday particularly fans he had met in Belgium and Holland.
"The place was packed out," he said. "1 did a deal with Frank Warren three
years ago and he has done everything he said he would do. We sold nearly
S100,000 worth of tickets from my house.
"1 remember when Naz boxed Vincenzo Belcastro in Sheffield in 1994 and it
was half-empty. But it has taken a long time to build it up again. Last weekend's
show is the way it's going to go. The razzmatazz is here to stay."
