Boxing trainer Ronnie Davies's fighters say the water he found in a well in his garden is a knock-out.

Now he is thinking of marketing it under a name like Punch or Ringside.

Portslade-based Ronnie hopes he can give his contenders a new edge after discovering the apparently pure water at the bottom of a 135ft well.

The first of his boxers to try a glass of the water won his fight that same night.

Ronnie - who trained world champion Chris Eubank for ten years - said: "It's crystal clear, ice cold water and tastes delicious."

He noticed a deep hole in his back garden when he moved into his cottage 23 years ago. But he simply put a slab over the opening and forgot all about it.

Ronnie, 55, of Hangleton Way, said: "I've been too busy with the boxing all this time. It wasn't until I had a bit of time to myself a couple of months ago that I decided to look at it again."

When he dropped a bucket down the well he was amazed to find 15ft of pure running water at the bottom of a 120ft drop.

He said: "One of my boxers, Chill John, was the first to try a glass and he won his fight that night. I've never seen him box so well, so there must be something in it."
