John Marvin outside court. Marvin is an English-Filipino amateur light heavyweight boxer who has boxed for the army, and represented the Philippines in boxing internationally. A Lance Corporal, he has been in the army for eight years. He will be sentenced, following probation reports, on January 11, at the same court. All options are available, including custody. Liz Miller prosecuting, said Miss Haywood was Marvin s girlfriend at the time of the attack. She had gone to the Duke of York pub in Cowes with friends, leaving behind a moody and aggressive Marvin. She felt bad about leaving him, so went back to his home address. He pushed her to the floor, trapping her leg in the door, which he then repeatedly shut on her leg, causing bruising.
