Doncaster boxing coach jailed over cocaine plot ordered to pay £82,000
A Doncaster world champion boxing coach jailed over his part in a plot to supply cocaine has been ordered to repay £82,000.
Andrew Bulcroft, known as Stefy Bull, benefitted to the sum of £189,437, a confiscation hearing at Sheffield Crown Court was told.
He was jailed for 10 years last September after he was found guilty of using an encrypted phone network to buy the drugs wholesale before selling them in South Yorkshire.
According to the BBC, the 48-year-old appeared in court via video link from HMP Wealstun in West Yorkshire and was told he must repay the sum within three months or face a further two years in jail.
The court heard Bulcroft, a former professional fighter turned trainer, manager and promoter who had guided the careers of world champions, had £82,414 available to pay.
His Honour Judge Anthony Dunne ordered him to pay all of that sum, a £104,023 shortfall from his profits from drug dealing, the BBC reported.
A confiscation hearing for his co-defendant, Benjamin Williams, was rescheduled for 25 September after the court was told matters concerning him "remain in dispute".
Williams, 42, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to supply cocaine, possessing cocaine with intent to supply, possessing cannabis with intent to supply and possessing criminal property.
He was jailed for eight-and-a-half years in September.
Bull's stable included champions at British, European and world level with a gym in Denaby Main including Terri Harper, Jamie McDonnell, Maxi Hughes and Jason Cunningham.
Bulcroft, of Crane Moore Close, Harlington, denied the charge against him but a jury delivered a unanimously guilty verdict after a four-day trial.
