A PROFESSIONAL boxer who was caught in his car with \u00a335,000 worth of cocaine has been jailed for two years.<\/p>\n
Welterweight Jack Ewbank was stopped by cops as he drove through Folkestone, Kent, with four bags of the class A drug.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Police searching the 33-year-old's home discovered a further 340g of cocaine divided into 12 packages – totalling up to \u00a334,700.<\/p>\n
Officers also discovered a phone with 36,000 messages that were "indicative of drug supply".<\/p>\n
Ewbank has now been jailed for two years and five months after he pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cocaine and possessing criminal property.<\/p>\n
The boxer, who has won four of his nine professional fights, claimed he was a "one-man band" dealing small amounts to customers.<\/p>\n
But Judge Simon Taylor KC said it made little difference whether Ewbank "had his fingers in two pies or his pie was a little bit bigger".<\/p>\n
Canterbury Crown Court heard Ewbank was pulled over by police acting on "intelligence" on August 21, 2021.<\/p>\n
The boxing gym owner has since turned his life around through cognitive behavioural therapy.<\/p>\n
In a letter he wrote to his sister, Ewbank said he was "ashamed, disappointed and suicidal".<\/p>\n
