Pictures: Life of boxing guru Len Woodhall
Over 40 years in boxing saw the late Len Woodhall make his name synonymous with the sport and led his son Richie to become a world champion.
His proudest moment was when Richie claimed the WBC super middleweight title in 1998, on a night to remember at the Telford Ice Rink.
Shropshire hasn't staged fight nights of the magnitude as that victory over 'Sugar Boy' Malinga, or his defence against Glenn Catley, to this day.
It followed on from his youngest lad's amateur success, with bronze at the 1998 Olympics and gold at the Commonwealth Games two years later.
He estimated he's trained over 65 champions, from schoolboy to world, and led 18 boxers to belts in the paid code. That's despite having a car crash that broke his leg in four places.
He moved to Telford from his hometown of Birmingham in 1970, first getting involved with the sweet science later that year when he and his older son Lawrence got involved with Woodside Boxing Club.
He last worked the corner in November 2013, supporting now-British welterweight champion Sam Eggington's sole defence of the Midlands crown against Dave Ryan.
He was also a keen fisherman and West Bromwich Albion fan. He passed away after battling cancer, aged 75, and is survived by second wife Anne, Richie and his older brothers Lawrence and Steven.
