Hello Silvester, remember Longbow house? I had the privaledge to spend time with
Your family, your mum was an amazing lady, your brother Gregory was my mentor,
He said I should follow your example,which I did,training sessions in bin bags,we did
Crown n manor, Lion club,n Repton training regimes, but none of us could keep up with
You Sylv, needless to say we all followed your career with pride, you sold me tickets to
The Albert Hall, I was so proud when you won that bout,remember Sylv when you helped
Me when I was being bullied by a Turk 4yrs older than me, you allowed me to confront
Him without losing face, which I did,Thank you, and then to see you defend yourself by
Chinning him when he attacked you was a treat. Hope you n yours are well,stay safe,
Thank You for your friendship, Take care my friend.?

Sylvester was and is an admirable gentleman. He was part of a truly golden age in British boxing. God bless you Sylvester. Vince (Manchester, UK)

Really uplifting to see Sylvester, so happy and receiving the acknowledgement and love for, the varying components that make up Sylvester. From his fierce boxing stance, to his philosophy, and the very profound poetic verse he is able to create…..together with with the supported youth work he carries out, he is a great guy, a strong ‘brotha man’..lots of respect for him………elle

I worked with Sylvester as part of Hackney’s sports development team. They were great times made even more special because of Sylvester. A good friend is hard to find and Sylvester is one of the best. Good on ya mate.

As a young man who has been helped by Sylvester in the past it is wonderful to see him get the praise and attention he deserves. Well done to the interviewer too. The transcript is faultless, I could almost hear his voice.
