Guardian of the Streets: James Cook MBE, My Story

Product Information

I’ve known him since he was an amateur and he’s always been a pleasant young man,” Cook says. “He is so clever, so good at what he does. People look up to this guy because he carries himself and holds himself together so well. At the press conference when Lyndon Arthur was saying things he didn’t react – I was thinking if that had been me as a fighter I probably would have reacted. He’s such a humble young man and someone people can really look up to.” When things are going well no one says nothing but when they don’t go well the first person people blame is the coach,” he explains. “Someone always gets the blame, but they deserve credit. People have crucified Tunde. But they’re a young team, they want to learn and you have to give them credit for that. The 47-year-old was seriously injured on November 10 when unseated from Ben Macdui at the start of an all-weather handicap. James Cook MBE, the former British and European super middleweight champion, has recently been drafted into the camp to work with Yarde and his trainer Tunde Ajayi, to provide wise counsel and be an experienced eye on the team who work out of the Box Up Crime gym in the heart of Ilford, east London. It was time to change manager's once more and James signed with popular Londoner Harry Holland, where he won all five of his fights.

What I like about these guys is they listen, they are a young team who are willing to learn from someone who has been there and done it. I am here to correct them and say ‘you know what, this is what you do in this situation’,” added the 62-year-old, who will bring both experience and calm to punching proceedings.

Popular As Learning from his tragic experience of confused bloodshed after the first landfall in 1769 at present-day Gisborne, Cook evolved a policy of race relations aimed at facilitating surveying work and the resupply of his ships, while avoiding friction with Māori. This cooperation was necessary to sustain his crew on the three visits Cook made to New Zealand, in 1769-70, 1773 and 1777. Anthony has all the heart in the world and it is probably that calmness that he needs around him. When everyone is wrapped up in emotion they probably miss that.”Lee was reported to be making "positive progress" there last week and was able to talk to his family for short periods. The club provides sports and activities to a range of ages. Picture: Razvan Pestean (Image: Razvan Pestean) Cook’s voice softened considerably as he spared a thought for Lyndon Arthur. “I understand the way Lyndon is feeling, because Lyndon now is probably thinking he’s let his people down and he’s let his camp down, just like how I felt when I went to Shefield to fight Herol ‘Bomber’ Graham. I felt that I didn’t perform and I felt rotten. But, as you go along experiencing boxing, you realise this is boxing. So Lyndon shouldn’t beat up himself about what Anthony done. To me, Lyndon is like a quiet James Cook. There’s no hype about him. He’s just calm and relaxed. But sometimes you have to make noise and, when you fight, you’ve got to fight rugged. My personal opinion of Lyndon is that he is a nice, pleasant young man and he’ll come again. Believe me, he’ll definitely come again.” Mark Kaylor was halted in six rounds in Cook’s first European title defence at the York Hall in June 1991. The following morning when Cook strolled casually through the door of the London Ex Boxers’ Association meeting, the sincere congratulations soon gave way to jovial suggestions that the highly popular former British and European super-middleweight champion should now be known as James ‘The Difference’ Cook, which rapidly became abbreviated to simply ‘The Difference’ – for example, “Hey, ‘The Difference’, do you fancy another pint of Guiness?” When quizzed as to how he felt about his newfound status, Jamaican-born Cook cheerfully replied, “So long as they’re gonna buy me a pint of Guiness, they can call me whatever they want!”

Highly touted prospect, Errol Christie was stopped in the fifth round of a scheduled eight at the York Hall, Bethnal Green in January 1989, and just under a year later Cook travelled to Belfast to become British super-middleweight champion halting local man Sam Storey in the tenth round. Cook argues that the criticism hurled in Yarde and Ajayi’s direction in the wake of those contests has been unjust. He text you, ‘Don’t come to the funeral.’ Do you know whose funeral?” prosecutor Nia James asked Ms Baitup, an insurance worker from Caerau, near Maesteg.
