Steve Robinson (Cinderella Man)- former boxing World Champion.

Robinson's story is a remarkable one.  On a Thursday night, he was eating pie and chips at his mother-in-law’s  house, having just returned home from working as a storeman with Debenhams, earning £52 per week.  But by the Saturday night Wales’ first boxing World Champion for 25 years.

In April 1993, the defending WBO Featherweight Champion, Ruben Palacios, the tough Columbian fighter, was stripped of the title, for failing an HIV test before his fight with Englishman, John Davison.   The promoters had only two days to find another opponent and Steve Robinson accepted the challenge.  Against all the odds, Robinson won the bout and the title by a points decision and went on to make 7 successful defences of his title.
