Arron Jones (born 27 December 1987), best known by his nickname of "Prince Arron", is a British former professional boxer who competed from 2006 to 2013. He held the British super welterweight title in 2011 and challenged once for the EBU European middleweight title in 2013. Arron's professional debut came on 28 April 2006 with a victory over Tommy Jones at the Midland Hotel in Manchester. He fought and won four more times that year before meeting undefeated fellow prospect Anthony Small at the Elephant and Castle in Southwark on 21 October 2006. Arron fought just once in 2008 defeating Tony Randell before returning in 2009 and scoring wins over the likes of Dee Mitchell, Danny Gwilym and Taz Jones. On 18 December 2009 however Arron's hopes of completing a series of wins in the year were dashed with his first career draw against Max Maxwell over six rounds at the York Hall. In 2010 Arron was chosen as a participant in the tenth installment of the Prizefighter series which this time featured light middleweights. The tournament on 26 February 2010 pitched Arron in the quarter finals against George Hillyard with the Prince winning on points. The semi-finals resulted in a career best win for Arron with a win over the tournament favourite and former Commonwealth champion Bradley Pryce. In the final Arron faced former amateur champion Brett Flournoy who had fought his way to the final with wins over the undefeated Steve O'Meara and former British title challenger Danny Butler. A close final turned the way of Arron, when in the third and final round, the tournaments only knockdown resulted in all three judges scoring unanimous decisions. He won the British title from Sam Webb in London in 2011.

Today I catch up with a real gentleman of Boxing Wayne Alexander ABA amateur champion, British Champion and European, A generation of fight fans will have missed out on witnessing the explosive punching power of former British, European and WBU champion Wayne Alexander who at one stage seemed destined to be the heir-apparent to the Dark Destroyer Nigel Benn at Light-Middleweight. His one-punch demolition of Mehrdud Takaloo to win the WBU title was his finest hour in a fight career that had at times lengthy bouts of inactivity where Alexander admits to lacking motivation and discipline at times during his career over a period of 11 years in which he fought 27 times with a record of 24 wins and 3 defeats. Alexander however had the heart of a lion and with notification of just one day stepped in as a late replacement to take on WBO Light-Middleweight Champion Harry Simon who he rocked in the 2nd round before losing by TKO in the 4th round.

A motley crew led by Adam Hollioake went to Sharjah in the winter of 1997 and confounded expectations by coming back with England's first one-day title for 10 years. England's 1997 Akai Singer Champions Trophy squad Adam Hollioake (c), Ali Brown, Dougie Brown, Robert Croft, Mark Ealham, Matthew Fleming, Ashley Giles, Dean Headley, Graeme Hick, Ben Hollioake, Nick Knight, Peter Martin, Alec Stewart (wk), Graham Thorpe Of the 11 players who featured in Sharjah, four weren't selected for the World Cup a year-and-a-half later, with Fleming and Dougie Brown, so influential in that win, playing only a handful more matches between them. So did England depart too quickly from that winning formula, or was it always destined to be a glorious one-off?   Please subscribe Follow us and listen on the following links Twitter @sheikhyssj1 Instagram @sheikhyssj1 Facebook sheikhys sports journeys Apple Podcasts sheikhys sports journeys Spotify sheikhys sports journeys

This episode is sponsored by Robert More & Company, a big thank you to them for sponsoring. David Michael Barclay Sole OBE (born 8 May 1962) is a former Scottish rugby union player. He made his Scotland debut in 1986 against France and went on to win 44 caps at prop between 1986 and 1992, with a record 25 as captain. He was also the first choice loosehead prop with the victorious British Lions in Australia in 1989. In 1990, Sole was captain for a Grand Slam decider at Murrayfield against hot favourites England. This is sometimes considered to be Scotland's greatest match, and one well remembered, as Richard Bath wrote: "David Sole is another of those players who is remembered and virtually defined by one moment: in this case it was when he made the decision for his side to take the now famous walk onto the pitch for the Grand Slam decider against England at Murrayfield in 1990. As a statement of resolve, it was a masterstroke from which the English never recovered as they lost the most high-profile game in Five Nations Rugby history. It also cemented Sole's name in Scottish folklore... "[David Sole was] one of the game's most softly-spoken and considered men off the field and one of the most inspirational and thoughtful captains and players on it." Scotland won 13-7, denying England the Grand Slam and claiming their third Grand Slam after their previous triumphs in 1925 and 1984. He captained a World XV to a victory against the All Blacks in 1992. He made his final international appearance for Scotland in 1992 against Australia. That year he stood for election as Rector of the University of Dundee, but despite being the favourite candidate he was defeated by Stephen Fry. Since retiring Sole has worked as a co-commentator for BBC Scotland's coverage of rugby union matches. He has also embarked on a successful career outside of sport, becoming Managing Partner of "School for CEO'" in 2017 as well as Non-executive director of AM Bid Services. He was educated at Blairmore prep school and Glenalmond College, a private school in Perthshire. Three of Sole's four children have also represented their country in international sport. His sons Chris and Tom both play for the Scotland cricket team, while his daughter Gemma plays for the Scotland netball team. His other son Jamie is also a rugby player, and played professionally with Newcastle Falcons.   Please subscribe Follow us and listen on the following links Twitter @sheikhyssj1 Instagram @sheikhyssj1 Facebook sheikhys sports journeys Apple Podcasts sheikhys sports journeys Spotify sheikhys sports journeys
