Herbie Hide in more trouble.
Former world champion heavyweight boxer Herbie Hide was facing arrest today after he failed to attend court on conspiracy to supply cocaine charges.
The 41-year-old told his barrister he was being treated for malaria in a clinic in Nigeria.
But because a doctor failed to email a report, a warrant for the boxer’s arrest was issued.
Hide’s barrister Michael Clare said: “The doctor said he would send a report. No report has been forthcoming.”
Prosecutor Ian James told Norwich crown court Hide had been allowed to leave the UK but was in breach of his bail.
Co-defendant Ben Sharman, 22, of Poringland, Norfolk, admitted conspiracy to supply drugs and offering to supply drugs, but he denied supplying cocaine to the former champion.
He was remanded in custody.
Sharman and Hide, of Bawburgh, will stand trial at a later date.
Hide was arrested after an undercover reporter sting.

Is he so broke that he has to resort to being a drug dealer to get money? He was involved in two fights against two of the biggest names in boxing against Riddick Bowe and Vitali Klitschko. Where did the money go?

Re: Herbie Hide in more trouble.
He had a huge house in Norwich and was close to a cruiser weight title shot 4 years ago. This is sad, as didn't seem a bad lad to me. Probably lots will crawl out of the woodwork that passed me by, but it was like when Skelton went to prison. Not a hero exactly, but someone who you could have real respect for what they have done and achieved. And then you see them as human.

Re: Herbie Hide in more trouble.
Hide has always struck me as being half decent inside the ring, and a first class plank outside of it. I believe he has lost a lot of money on badly-researched and advised business deals over the years. I expect he's got a few "hangers-on" too that continue to drain his diminishing resources.
Think he would have done well at the 200lb cruiser limit had that been brought in earlier.

Allegedly up his nose by the sounds of it.
