Scott Welch is tough. Not tough in the usual Brighton way of having forgotten to moisturise that morning, but tough in the sense of walking across Britain, cycling to Spain and then rowing to Africa, a recent charity fund-raising effort that took two solid months. This toughness also helped him clinch five boxing titles over a seven year career, plus a co-starring role in Guy Ritchie’s gangster film Snatch

As a professional boxer, Scott travelled the world, racking up the Southern Area belt, before moving on to British, Commonwealth and WBO Intercontinental titles. In 1997, he had a crack at the WBO World Title fight in Nashville, narrowly losing to Henry Akinwande on points. In all, he had 26 professional fights, with 22 wins and an impressive 17 knock-outs.
