A former Bristol boxer dubbed the 'Turkish Warrior' admitted fleecing a girlfriend by telling her his mum had cancer. And she handed over more money in an attempt to get her funds back, a court heard.
Umit Sucu pleaded guilty to two counts of fraud after taking £14,600 from the woman and using it to fund his lifestyle rather than making bank transfers to his mum as he claimed, the court was told. The 44-year-old, of Hamble Close in Thornbury, appeared for sentence at Bristol Crown Court.
The recorder Mr David Chidgey handed him a a 15-month prison sentence suspended for two years. He told Sucu: "(The complainant) was already recovering from an abusive relationship when she met you.
