Bartley Gorman

Bartley Gorman V (1 March 1944 – 18 January 2002) was a British bare-knuckle boxer.

A Welsh Irish Traveller, Gorman called himself "the King of the Gypsies". Between 1972-92, he reigned supreme in the world of illegal gypsy boxing. During these years, he fought down a mineshaft, in a quarry, at horse fairs, on campsites, in bars and clubs, and in the streets. Several of Gorman's relatives have become professional boxers, including Nathan Gorman, Hughie Fury and Tyson Fury.

Gorman is survived by his son and two daughters Shaun, Maria and Julie.
