Doncaster coach Stefy Bull has been found guilty – cocaine dealing and cash finds lead to drastic sentence.
The well-known boxing trainer and manager Andrew Bulcroft, better known on the scene as Stefy Bull, has been sentenced to ten years in prison at Sheffield Crown Court. The background to this is his involvement in a conspiracy to deal cocaine. Bulcroft had already been found guilty by a jury in February after a trial lasting several days.
Judge Peter Hampton justified the sentence with “financial greed”. The Doncaster-based coach had initially denied the allegations, but later changed his plea to guilty, citing financial problems during the coronavirus pandemic as the reason.
According to the BBC report, investigators seized over 84,000 pounds of cash, 9,500 pounds of cocaine and cannabis when co-conspirator Benjamin Williams was arrested in Mexborough in June 2020. In addition, Bulcroft is said to have maintained contact with an unidentified backer in Spain via the encrypted network Encrochat, who informed him about the purchase of kilogram quantities of cocaine. Prices were between 34,000 and 37,000 pounds per kilogram. Judge Hampton accused Bulcroft of reselling around five kilograms of the drug – “undoubtedly at a substantial profit”.
Stefy Bull had made a name for himself in the boxing world, particularly as the trainer of three-time world champion Terri Harper. He also coached top international professionals such as Jamie McDonnell, Maxi Hughes and Jason Cunningham.
