Hughroy Currie has my eternal respect, writes Derek Williams
AS an ex-boxer, I know that taking an ‘L’ (a loss) is part and parcel of sports and competition. I suffered a few L’s in the ring. Each one was a heartbreaker, as I never prepared to lose. But somehow you deal with it. The sting of defeat eventually fades.
2020 was the year when ‘loss’ became the norm for almost all of us. These defeats came in the form of health, freedoms, money, independence and, most painfully, people. For me it was the passing of my beloved mother in November.
Hughroy Currie, 1959-2021
Matt Bozeat pays tribute to former British heavyweight champion Hughroy Currie
TREVOR “HUGHROY” CURRIE, who died last week aged 61, had a seven-month reign as British heavyweight champion and upset former world-title challenger Alfredo Evangelista in Spain during his 29-fight career.
Currie produced a late rally against the awkward Funso Banjo in September, 1985 to claim the British title vacated by Dave Pearce [
Currie is pictured above right with Peace and Banjo] and lost the belt in six rounds to Horace Notice, on the Isle of Man.
The honest efforts of Currie, Notice and Banjo at domestic level were rather overshadowed by Frank Bruno, by far and away Britain’s top heavyweight at the time.
The British lost generation of heavyweights
When looking back on British heavyweights of the 80s it’s difficult to find a happy ending, writes Steve Bunce
TREVOR HUGHROY CURRIE was part of Britain’s very own generation of lost heavyweight champions from the Eighties.
There was the original fabled gang of fighting brothers, dubbed the Lost Generation by Tim Witherspoon; they reigned as heavyweight champions for about ten years, were violent, tragic and talented fighters at the same time.
The British version skipped the prison stays, assaults and crack cocaine, but they still have a story to tell. And not all the stories have a happy ending and few of the fights were memorable for the right reasons.
