  • Errol Christie (born 29 June 1963) is a former professional British boxer and currently a boxing trainer. He was the captain of the English boxing team from 1980 to 1983 and European champion in 1983. Christie, born in Leicester and raised in Radford, Coventry, was a regular fixture on ITV Fight Night in the eighties. He earned the right to wear the Kronk Gym golden shorts after impressing its promoter Emanuel Steward. Christie won the overwhelming majority of his amateur and professional bouts up to 1985 when he was defeated by Mark Kaylor. After that his career went in to a tailspin until he hung up his gloves in 1993 after an eminently forgettable fight with Trevor Ambrose. He has since become a trainer to City executives engaged in the current craze for White Collar Boxing. One of his regular students is TV presenter Dermot O'Leary. Christie is now writing a book, No Place To Hide, about racism in both the boxing game and seventies/eighties Britain in collaboration with former BBC TV producer, Tony McMahon. Both are registered with the Blake Friedmann literary agency.
