Curtis Woodhouse punched and kicked his cousin in a pub brawl
The ex-Birmingham City star, nicknamed the “Driffield Destroyer” because of his tough reputation, landed a punch on his cousin after tempers flared.
Woodhouse has now been fined £8,885 after he admitted assault by beating at Hull Magistrates’ Court, Hull Daily Mail reports.
The horror unfolded on August 20 last year after the family fell out during a gathering at the pub.
Alexander had said something unpleasant to Woodhouse and kicked his leg in the toilets.
Woodhouse then attempted to clear the air later in the beer garden but his cousin was said to be aggressive towards him.
The boxer said he could “anticipate” what was going to happen so punched Alexander before the family member could hit him first.
JPs heard Woodhouse has a string of previous convictions, including assaulting a police officer during another pub incident.
He was fined £6,500 and ordered to pay £300 compensation, a £2,000 surcharge and £85 costs for the latest attack.
Former England under 21 star Woodhouse played for a number of clubs after beginning his career with Sheffield United.
He also had stints at Peterborough United, Hull City, Grimsby Town and Rotherham United.
The midfielder played for Birmingham City between 2001 and 2003 when the club were in the Premier League.
He retired in 2006 and launched a boxing career where he was crowned both British and English light-welterweight champion.
Woodhouse also fought for the WBO inter-continental welterweight title in 2011 but lost to Frankie Gavin.
He left the sport winning 24 of his 31 fights – 13 of them by a knockout – with just seven defeats.
After a spell playing non-league football, Woodhouse managed Marske United for just three months before he was sacked.
