I was at St David's Hall in Sep 1983 to see David Pearce win the British title. I had no idea of the hardship he faced later in life, this is a great film about a brave and talented fighter.

I remember Bomber pearce and followed his career a little small for a heavyweight but he would have been a serious challenger for world honours at cruiser !!!! RESPECT to the Pearce family for keeping his memory alive ….

The BBBC are hypocrites and liars, the amount of mismatches they allow in order to build someone up, boxers who have zero business being in the ring, i still think they were protecting Bruno, the PC crap was rampant back then.

Steered bruno away from Pearce , did the same with liverpool's Noel Quarless I think both big hitters . Not saying they would of beat big Frank but weren't given the chance. Big risk little reward .

Thank you so so much for this, I followed him around 83 i was only 22yrs old at the time and always thought he was a certainty to go far, Didn't have internet then for much information and had no idea what had happened other than the brain scan dilemma. Glad he got the statue and well done to Luke. Rip David.

In 2008 a work colleague from Swansea went into a local car dealership and a man who was clearly living on the streets and an alcoholic shuffled in begging for money. That man was the late Neville Meade former British boxing champion who Pearce defeated to win the title. Very sad.

I watched him beat Neville Meade, and saw a few other fights of his. I wish he had had a better break in life. Really sad. I am English, but always support the Brits and consider David one of my own. Lovely bloke. Never forget him.

A bunch of hype about a nobody. Comparing him to Rocky Marciano is a huge insult to Rocky. He never fought one name guy and got KO'ed twice while losing 4 out of 21 fights.
