Adding to the list of prominent
fighters respectively
ex-fighters to attend the
upcoming WBF World Convention in
Maribor, Slovenia from Sept. 22
to 25 is former three-time world
champion Robin Reid from
England.
His prowess in the ring made him
one of Britain’s most popular
and successful fighters during
the 90ies and early 2000’s and
to this day he remains a fan
favourite wherever he goes.
The now 45-year-old from
Runcorn, who won an Olympic
Bronze medal in 1992, held WBF,
IBO and WBC world titles during
a distinguished 42-8-1 (29)
professional career that lasted
until 2012. Always remaining
close to boxing, Reid is now at
the start of his career as a
judge and already has his first
WBF assignments under his belt.
Furthermore, he is in the
process of establishing his own
sports and nutritional company
with the support of Ambe
Business Centre.
“I
have experienced some great
moments in my boxing career and
I can personally say along with
hard work and dedication that
your nutrition needs to be a
high priority for any athlete,”
says the man known as ‘Grim
Reaper’. Of course, Reid will
talk about this topic and his
new business ambition during the
WBF Convention.
Jean Marcel Nartz, WBF Vice
President, is happy to meet up
with Reid again and says:
“I
have seen earlier this year that
Robin is uncompromisingly honest
when judging and that’s what we
look for in WBF officials. So we
certainly welcome him with open
arms as a WBF judge.”
Interestingly, Nartz was the
matchmaker for Reid’s highly
controversial 2003 world title
shot at Germany’s Sven Ottke.
