Drew Docherty (born 19 November 1965) is a Scottish former boxer who was British champion at both bantamweight (1992–1997) and super bantamweight (1999). Married to Caroline Bradshaw and has two children.Born in Glasgow and based in Condorrat, Docherty represented Scotland as an amateur, and made his professional debut in September 1989 with a points win over Gordon Shaw. Unbeaten in his first 8 fights, in June 1992 he stopped defending champion Joe Kelly in the fifth round to become British bantamweight champion. He made a successful defence in January 1993 against Donnie Hood.In February 1994 he made an unsuccessful attempt at Vincenzo Belcastro's European title at the Kelvin Hall, losing a unanimous points decision. In November he made a second successful defence of his British title against Adey Benton, and in February 1995 challenged for Alfred Kotey's WBO World bantamweight title, the defending champion stopping him in the fourth round.In October 1995 Docherty made the third defence of his British title against James Murray. Murray collapsed in the twelfth of sheer exhaustion in the final round and Docherty won the Lonsdale Belt outright, but Murray required brain surgery and died the next day. Docherty considered quitting boxing and sought counselling but decided to fight on.
