CAPTAIN REGAN
The Regan Clan have always been fighters. A trait honed during the days when they defended Ireland from the Vikings.
Michael (Captain) Regan was born in Guernsey, the eldest of ten children. When he was ten, his father died in an accident and Michael was forced to leave school to support his family.
He was a keen fighter, and by the age of fifteen he was a regular at the local ring, where spectators threw money to encourage the fights. Michael’s mother used his winnings to feed the family.
Seeing him bruised and bleeding, she would say, ‘Never again.’ But by the following week, she would ask, ‘Do you think you could manage another fight?’
Still only fifteen years old, he lied about his age to join the Royal Artillery. He fought in the Second World War and rose to the rank of captain. After the army, he joined the Nottingham constabulary as a police officer.
He returned to Guernsey with his family and opened a restaurant and boxing gym where he taught the locals. Many won trophies. In his later years, he joined the branch of government responsible for guarding the royal family and royal buildings.
His last role was as a fire security officer in a Caterham hospital. He played an active part in the recovery and treatment of the casualties of the Caterham Arms bombing.
He never lost his passion for the ring and throughout his life he would travel miles to attend big-named fights.
His passion for boxing is continued by his grandson, Regans Fight Club (RFC) co-founder and Head Coach, Darren Chanagasubbay’s (AKA Darren Chan).
