Roy " Pretty Boy" Shaw

Sev is sad to say that Roy Shaw passed away earlier last year.  Her good wishes go out to all his family and friends.

Sev had the privilege of meeting Roy in September 1999, where she and her fellow training partners, her instructor (Alan Charlton who planned and hosted the day) and other elite instructors were present.  Please read the article that Alan wrote about the great day in Fighters February 2000.

The bare-knuckle fighter and armed robber Roy "Pretty Boy" Shaw, who has died aged 76, once gloried in the title of the "hardest man in Britain". The opening line of his 1999 autobiography, Pretty Boy, encapsulates the way that he presented himself to the world: "I am a ruthless bastard."

Shaw was bullied as a boy and, after his father's death when Shaw was 10, finally reacted to being harassed by lashing out violently. "God had given me a gift," he recalled in Pretty Boy, which was ghosted by Kate Kray, widow of the gangster Ronnie Kray. By 16, Shaw was a schoolboy boxing champion, winning the first of his titles at the Royal Albert Hall.

Roy spent time in Borstal for the violent robbery of a bookie, then in 1963 was jailed for 18 years for being part of a gang that robbed a security van. In Wandsworth prison, he found himself serving time with the train robber Ronnie Biggs.  He was then moved to another prison.  From Parkhurst, after many violent incidents and clashes with the authorities, he was sent to the psychiatric unit at Grendon Underwood. What he described as his "uncontrollable temper" soon took him to Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital. He spent five years there where he was injected with a variety of different drugs in a bid to pacify him.

He was returned to prison and spent the remainder of his sentences in a variety of jails where he channelled his energy into working out with weights. After his eventual release, he was encouraged to try his hand at bare-knuckle fighting and it was through unlicensed contests, with and without gloves, that he established his reputation.

What was billed as the "fight of the century" and "a fight to the death" between him and the Gypsy boxer Donny "The Bull" Adams, in 1975, was halted by the police on the grounds that such contests were illegal. It attracted enormous publicity at the time and so great was the amount of money riding on it that they agreed to wear gloves and fight. Shaw won and went on to take on his great rival, Lenny "The Guv'nor" McLean, whom he beat. He lost the re-match and a third unlicensed fight with McLean, although the two men continued to differ as to how many times they had actually fought.

There are some elements of regret in his memories. "It's not big and it's not clever to go to prison," he concluded.

• Roy Shaw, unlicensed boxer, born 11 March 1936; died 14 July 2012
