    RIP Henry Cooper

    Allegedly... it's all over Twitter, but no confirmation from real news sources as yet.

    EDIT: Now being reported by the Daily Mail and The Sun. Still no word from real news sources

    He was a very well known figure when I was a kid, shame if he's out for the final count.

      Sad news. His twin brother died last year.

        It must be true as the BBC is now reporting it
        BBC Sport - Boxing legend Sir Henry Cooper dies aged 76

        RIP Sir Henry.

            I remember 'Enry's 'Ammer.

            Perhaps a bit too small to become a world heavyweight champion, but he was a good boxer, and he gave Clay a fright before Clay was world champion.

            RIP, great character.

              Aye.

              IIRC, Ali has always been very complimentary towards Cooper.

                He will be missed.

                  That is not what Muhammad Ali said.
