Years and years ago, Rafael Osuna, the great Mexican tennis player who died tragically in an air crash, came to my aid as I was about to fight Cliff Richey, an American champion and arch bully.
He was totally in the wrong, and Osuna had been a witness.
Just as we were about to square off, he jumped in and said, ‘Let me have him; if you fight him, they won’t invite you again.’ Richey and Osuna were stars, I was a nobody.
