Ralph "Painless" Gilhooly knocks out former world boxing champ
It
was something that Nigel Benn never managed to do but it took local Chiswick
dentist, Dr. Ralph Gilhooly, just a few minutes to put Chris Eubank on
the canvas.
The two came together in the ring during the filming of "At Home
with the Eubanks" a fly-on-the-wall documentary series about the
family life of the former world middleweight boxing champion. Chris visited
Ralph (see picture left) for a check-up and then took him to a gym where
he thought he was going to teach the dentist to box. In fact it was Eubank
who received the lesson with Ralph flooring him with a pilehammer right.
The welterweight
dentist had as much boxing experience as the average Audley Harrison opponent
(i.e. he'd never boxed before in his life).
The show which is a Carlton Production will go on air on Channel 5 on
Tuesday October 7th and Ralph's moment of glory is likely to feature.
Ralph assures patients that his boxing talent will not be used for tooth
extraction. His surgery is well stocked with the latest dental equipment
for painless treatment.
