LONDON (UPI) -- Terry Marsh, the undefeated former world light welterweight champion, was arrested Wednesday by police investigating the shooting last November of his ex-manager, boxing promoter Frank Warren. Marsh, 31, was arrested at Gatwick Airport, outside London, after flying in from the United States, where he watched Nigel Benn's victory over Sanderline Williams last Sunday. A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed the arrest, but was unable to say what connection there was between Marsh and the shooting. Warren was shot at point-blank range as he arrived at a London boxing promotion in his chauffeur-driven limousine. He was on a life-support machine for several days before recovering. Marsh, a former fireman, won the IBF light welterweight title from American Joe Manly in March, 1987. He was forced to retire after being diagnosed as having epilepsy. Marsh, whose career record is 26 wins and one draw, now is registered with the British Boxing Board as a manager, and as a co-promoter with Frank Maloney.
