Terry Marsh (born 7 February 1958) is an English former professional boxer who was an undefeated world champion in the light welterweight division. Marsh was a three-time ABA senior amateur champion who went on to become the British, European and IBF light welterweight world champion as a professional. He was the first European boxer ever to retire as an undefeated World Champion, a feat later equalled by Romanian Michael Loewe, Germany's Sven Ottke and Welshman Joe Calzaghe. Marsh was charged with the attempted murder of his former manager, the boxing promoter, Frank Warren following Warren's shooting in London in 1989. Marsh spent 10 months on remand before he was released after being acquitted at trial. In 2010, Marsh changed his name by deed poll to "None Of The Above X" and stood in the that year's general election as an independent candidate. He changed his name as a protest against there being no option to select "None of the above" in the election. ==Early life== Marsh was born in Stepney, East London, where he grew up in a small terraced house with his parents and three brothers. Marsh, who was a junior chess champion, began boxing as a youth at the St George's Club in Stepney before the family moved to Basildon in Essex. Marsh attended Westminster City School between 1969 -1971.〔http://www.owca.org.uk/index.php?url=memorables-page-2〕 Before he became a professional boxer, Marsh was a Royal Marine who served in Cyprus and in Crossmaglen in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.〔(The Telegraph - Marsh happy to roll with the punches )〕 He later became a firefighter with the Essex County Fire & Rescue Service, serving on White Watch, Tilbury. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry Marsh (boxer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
