Dennis andries where is he now

There is also, he suggests, a genetic explanation for his longevity; his tough childhood in Guyana. We were working-class, country people. My daddy came to Britain first, then my mother and my sister, and when they'd saved the money, maybe eight years later, they sent for me and my brother.

My parents had split by the time we got here. He needed all that self- sufficiency to carry him through a career with more troughs than peaks, in which he had to carve out his own niche as an unfashionable, crude brawler without the financial, promotional or managerial connections needed to make things happen.

His illusions did not survive for long. You're just holding other fighters back. I'm here, and if I'm in his way he's got to beat me first. He solved his dilemma by creating the impression that his dedication had faded: he would train for a couple of days in a professional gym, then disappear for a week to make it seem that he's broken training.

In fact, he would instead be working out at anamateur club with people whom he could trust with his secret. He got his first major opportunity in his ninth fight, as a short- notice substitute against the veteran British champion Bunny Johnson in January , and even though he lost on points he made a strong enough impression to be granted a rematch for the title a year later. It proved a nightmare experience: in probably the worst championship fight in the division's history.

Andries blundered and stumbled his way to a rounds points loss. It was a humiliating experience, and the critics were merciless. He remained unperturbed. Ten years after, when it's all over, read it and have a laugh. I've only had one first-round knockout in nearly 60 fights. They've all been tough. I've always fought guys one level above me.
