16 January 1986(1986-01-16) (aged 51) Islington, London, England
Waterman was born in Stepney, East London, England, one of nine children of Rose Juliana (née Saunders) and Harry Frank Waterman.[2] His younger brother, Dennis Waterman, became an actor and singer. His father had been an amateur boxer and made all of his sons box.[3]
When Waterman was 18, he became a professional and won the British welterweight title in 1956.[1] In 1957, he beat Emilio Marconi to gain the European welterweight title.[1] In April 1958, after a fight with British lightweight champion, Dave Charnley, he had to be helped to the dressing room. A few months later Waterman underwent brain surgery and never fought again.[1][5][6]
He died suddenly in Islington at the age of 51.[1]
