Jimmy Tibbs

Muhammed Ali picks himself up off the canvas after a sparring session with Jimmy Tibbs in London prior to his fight with Henry Cooper.

Jimmy Tibbs was a lucky man. At 24 years of age he was a capable professional boxer with a loving wife and two young children. But his life changed in a most dramatic fashion after he was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison, following a trial that rocked the east end of London.

Jimmy is now a free man, a Born Again Christian, living a happy and contented life with his family - a man who has built up a reputation as one of the finest boxing trainers around.
