Born to Fight The True Story of Richy 'Crazy Horse' Horsley

There are few men tougher than Richy Horsley. Boxer, street fighter, and bouncer, Crazy Horse, as he is better known, is part of the underbelly of the hardman scene. So tough is he, that he has even accepted a challenge from Britain's most dangerous prisoner, Charles Bronson, to be his first boxing opponent upon Bronson's eventual release from prison. As a young man, he channelled his rage into boxing and he became one of the toughest fighters in the land. Yet this man has much more to offer than just his fighting credentials. Having shunned his life of bar-room brawling, drinking, and drugs, Richy now devotes his time to being a father and being committed to a boys' club that takes kids off the streets and encourages them into the ring.

Richy Horsley was born in 1964 in Hartlepool and was brought up by his adoptive parents, Tom and Brenda. Richy started boxing as a young man and even reached the latter stages of the ABA Championships. He later became involved in unlicensed boxing and street fighting and earned himself an unrivalled reputation.
