Just heard on the news on Radio 2 that a boxer name of Gary Mason has died. I don,t remember him but they stated that he played Rugby League for London Broncos. Does anyone on here remember him?

Yeah, it was basically a publicity stunt similar to Cas with Dwain Chambers. Think he probably played for about 10 mins in an a-team game.
A big lumbering heavyweight renowned more than anything for being bessie mates with (and looking an awful lot like) Frank Bruno. He was a better boxer than Bruno but never got anything like the same media attention. He got well beaten up by a young Lennox Lewis which more or less ended his career way back when.
A sad loss anyway as he can't have been that old.
Played 3 games for the Broncos and scored a try.
38 fights won 37 lost 1 as correctly stated to Lennox Lewis.
RIP
He was only 48 when he passed away, yesterday.
No more 500 Mile round trip for home games - moved to Warrington - now that makes more sense!
My profile says ' Waiting for the No 17' ? Don't have a danny what that is all about?!
Didn't he play for Sheffield Eagles too?
Born in St.Helens (Lancashire). Live in Hull. Probably die in Hull if I keep wearing this Red Vee.
I had the pleasure of meeting Gary Mason at a charity event. An absolute gent of a bloke. RIP
