A Scots gangster has boasted about sending a gift of Ronnie Kray’s driving licence to world champion boxer Billy Joe Saunders.
Robert Kelbie, from Edinburgh, claims to represent super middleweight Saunders as ‘director of talent’ at MTK Global.
The 36-year-old posted a picture of the unusual present - complete with frame and black and white photos of the notorious London gangster twins - on his Instagram page.
Kelbie wrote next to the image: “Ronnie Kray’s original driving license for my good friend @saundersbillyjoe. Thanks for being a good friend bro.”
Both Ronnie and his brother Reggie were keen boxers before turning to crime.
Ronnie fought six times - winning four by knockout and losing the other two on points decisions – while Reggie won all seven of his professional fights.
The Record revealed today how Kelbie claimed to be working with world heavyweight boxing champ Tyson Fury.
He gave Fury, 32, a tour around Scotland during a whistle-stop visit last week.
During the trip Tyson and his Love Island brother Tommy stopped off in the capital, a tailors in Glasgow and enjoyed a stay in the five-star Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire.
On Instagram Kelbie now describes himself as “commercial director of talent for team Fury/Saunders”.
Both fighters are managed by the boxing super-firm MTK Global which Kelbie has also been helping to promote.
He has also become close friends with Saunders, 32.
In August last year, we told how former boxer Kelbie, who has been embroiled in a feud with cocaine baron Mark Richardson for several years, enraged locals by building a 7ft wall with electric gates around his Edinburgh property.
The compound was already fortified with spiked railings and CCTV.
The house was targeted by gunmen in 2013 and 2016.
In the second attack, a bullet smashed a bedroom window and another damaged a porch.
