Phillipines bid to deport champ back to Scotland over criminal conviction row
'DECCA' IN YOUTUBE VIDEO TO FOLLOWERS
A BARE-KNUCKLE boxing champion faces deportation back to Scotland from the Philippines.
Derek "Decca" Heggie, from Montrose, Angus, faces proceedings to send him home after details of a past criminal conviction came to light.
Filipino authorities paraded the fighter-turned-actor and a US criminal on TV, while announcing both would be booted out of the country.
Heggie, 40, has had a turbulent life, marked by addiction and mental health struggles.
But he had a taste of fame in The Corrupted, a gangster film, as a crime boss's righthand man. He performed with household names Timothy Spall, Hugh Bonneville and Scot David Hayman.
A tearful Heggie was allowed to make a final video for YouTube followers.
