When Dave the plasterer fought boxing legend Roberto Duran
Steve Bunce looks back on the night when a Yorkshire plasterer fought a bona fide legend, Roberto Duran
DAVE the Plasterer hurt Roberto the Fighting God in round four when the pair somehow met at a casino in South Africa. This happened, by the way. At the end of eight rounds, Roberto Duran got the decision and Yorkshire’s Dave Radford got the memories from one of the sport’s oddest nights and fights. And friendships. Duran went to the opening of Radford’s gym in Hemsworth back in 2010, 13 years after their fight.
