Brendan Ingle MBE (19 June 1940 – 25 May 2018)[1] was an Irish boxing trainer, manager and former professional boxer based in Sheffield, England.
Ingle trained four world champions in total at his Wincobank gym, including Johnny Nelson, "Prince" Naseem Hamed, Junior Witter, and Kell Brook.
[2] While living in Wincobank, Sheffield, England, Ingle was asked by a local vicar to carry out some community work because youth in the area were "running wild."
[citation needed] Ingle's fighters relied on footwork and reflexes for defence, leaving the hands free for offensive activity.
[4] In August 2014, Ingle was one of 200 public figures who were signatories to a letter to The Guardian opposing Scottish independence in the run-up to September's referendum on that issue.
