Colin Hough A True Legend of Boxing
The West Midlands boxing community is deeply saddened by the passing of Colin Hough, who sadly died aged 93.
Colin enjoyed an outstanding career as a boxer, recording an incredible 140 wins from 157 contests. However, his greatest legacy was arguably his work as a coach, mentor and role model. Over many years, he guided hundreds of young people, teaching them far more than boxing – instilling discipline, confidence, respect and helping many find a positive direction in life.
Colin was not just a boxing coach but a true gentleman who embodied the values of the sport. His kindness, humility and sportsmanship left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
His legacy will not simply be measured in victories, trophies or champions, but in the countless lives he influenced and the generations of boxers who will remember him with gratitude and affection.
Colin will be sadly missed throughout the boxing community, but his contribution to the sport and the people he inspired will never be forgotten.
Heroes are remembered. Legends never die.
Rest in peace, Colin Hough. You will always be remembered.
With heartfelt condolences to Colin's family, friends and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
