Dave Coldwell pays tribute to Dean Powell

After today’s awful news regarding the passing of the much-loved Dean Powell, I’d like to offer my sincere condolences to all of Dean’s family.

Also, my best wishes are with Frank Warren and everybody else at Queensberry Promotions who I know were extremely close to Dean and appreciated the magnificent job that he did for so long.

Dean was so generous to me at various stages of my boxing apprenticeship and in a sport where some prefer to close doors, Dean would always keep his open for everyone.

He was a friend on both a personal and professional level and to have had many opportunities to work alongside a great man such as Dean fills me with immense pride.

British boxing has lost one of its most popular characters and the void left by Dean will be felt by the entire fight community.

Rest in Peace Dean Powell
