Bartley Gorman

Bartley Gorman V (1 March 1944 – 18 January 2002) was a Welsh bare-knuckle boxer.

Born in England to Welsh Travellers, Gorman called himself "the King of the Gypsies". Between 1972 and 1992, he reigned supreme in the world of illegal gypsy boxing. During these years, he fought down a mineshaft, in a quarry, at horse fairs, on campsites, in bars and clubs, and in the streets. Several of Gorman's relatives have become professional boxers, including Nathan Gorman, Hughie Fury and Tyson Fury.
