I think it was out of order what happened to the tibbs, I hope Jimmy tibbs is laughing now, anyone who is anyone in boxing has heard of tibbs, one of the greatest trainer's in British boxing, and his book is a great read. 😎🥊. Also it was bang out of order why the nicholls, weren't charged, was there a bit of narking, going down, me thinks, but Jimmy turned his life around, and Fair play to him, Fate has a funny way to do it's thing, Gwan Jimmy+Mark. 🥊 Smashing it.

Awsome loved hearing jimmys story 👌 🙂
Got to know Jimmy pretty good, absolute gentleman and helped countless young men (who may well have been going down the wrong path in life) reach their true potential. Nothing but respect and love for this man! 💯
Great story, my wife’s family were great friends with Jimmy Tibbs, especially her brother Johnny, in Canning Town, never heard nothing but good things about him, only met him a couple of times unfortunately at funerals, but found him a perfect gentleman
Great insight into a great family 🥊🙏
Great man remember Jim from the sixties & onwards a real gentleman
Excellent boxing trainer and good Christian man bigbup Jimmy tibbs
Good for him. Its good to see how he could have down a very slippery slope, but instead he slammed on the breaks on that life and made the right changes and decisions. Hard work and dedication paid off, and maybe even saved his life.
People like those in his family and those they were at war with. They can't live a happy existence living that way. Imagine constantly looking over your shoulder…
Two tier policing.
What a story… what a man… redemption.
God bless Jimmy Tibbs 🙏 ❤️
Jesus saves ✝️
Stan Naylor was the power house
He's the quiet man Jimmy Tibbs, a well respected man who says very little.. There is a lot to be said for his "way".
