He was a talented boxer and once represented The Welch in a cliff-hanger of a competition against the Norfolk Regiment. He won his bout as a Light Heavy Weight, a victory that resulted in a final score of 23-22 in favour to The Welch: following his notable bout, it was said that Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau could be heard in Pyong Yang.
