"At first, we both miss a few sharp bursts of wild punches and then, BANG! I catch him with a full swing left hook and he goes down like a ferret down a hole after a rabbit.

"When I got off him, I spat the blood that was swamping my mouth in to his face, I looked down at him and it really looked like he was dying- shit!

"Looking as sharp as Sweeney Todd's razor, Roger struck a formidable figure as he donned his smart clothes and tie.
