Winston McKenzie
Winston Truman McKenzie (born 23 October 1953) is a British perennial candidate for office and former boxer, notable for having joined every major political party and having stood as an Independent or minor party candidate on numerous occasions without success. He stood in the 2010 UK Independence Party (UKIP) leadership contest and was the UKIP candidate in the 2012 Croydon North by-election, where he came third with 5.7% of the vote. He served as UKIP's Commonwealth Spokesman from 2014 until 9 March 2015.
==Background==
McKenzie was originally a middleweight boxer and was a successful amateur boxer. He is an older brother of boxer Duke McKenzie and a younger brother of boxer Clinton McKenzie. He fought professionally as a super-welterweight.〔retrieved November 8, 2015〕 He contended that after an underprivileged childhood, "boxing was my salvation". However, his boxing career was cut short at the age of 23 by two detached retinas.
He later worked as a hairdresser, a rug wholesaler, a letting agent and a garage mechanic. He also ran a pub in Parchmore Road, Thornton Heath, with his brothers. When the McKenzies bought the pub, it had "a notorious reputation...as a 'battleground' rife with gangsters and drug pushers until the brothers took over." They opened it as the McKenzie Bros Bar & Grill, but it was threatened with removal of its licence in July 2001 "after being caught several times by police serving alcohol after hours."〔 It finally closed down in December 2002, after a single police raid resulted in 25 people on the premises all being charged with various drugs and firearms offences. The pub was boarded up after the raid, and in January 2003, Winston McKenzie confirmed it would not be reopening. The building has subsequently been demolished. In 2005, he unsuccessfully auditioned for ''The X Factor''. He is now a youth worker.
