Boxer turned to dealing drugs after injury ended his sporting career
Merthyr Express
|September 04, 2025
A FORMER boxer was found to be involved in the supply of commercial levels of amphetamine and street levels of cocaine, a court has heard.
Leon Coker, 34, was stopped in a black Audi on the A4054 in the direction of Abercynon on July 2 last year, and he was arrested for an unrelated matter.
His phone was seized and the contents downloaded by the police and messages related to drug dealing were discovered, as well as videos showing white powder in a suitcase.
A sentencing hearing at Newport Crown Court on August 28 heard there were voice notes on the phone discussing the sale of drugs and images of white packaging filled with white powder.
On September 11 last year, police executed a search warrant at the defendant's home.
