Troll says sorry on TV after boxer hits back
Former Sheffield United and Hull City footballer Curtis Woodhouse had been receiving abusive tweets from James O’Brien for eight months before he finally snapped when he was branded a “disgrace” after losing his English light-welterweight title last week.
He drove from East Yorkshire to Sheffield where he tweeted a photo of Mr O’Brien’s street.

Mr O’Brien said he realised he had “let everyone down” with his abuse. “I was really childish. I can only offer my deepest apologies to anyone I ever abused on Twitter,” he said.
