Ryan McNicol, 42, launched a campaign of 'intimate terror' on a woman from Glasgow.
A former boxer seen wearing a horror mask and clutching a machete amid a campaign of "intimate terror" avoided jail today.
First offender McNicol was convicted at Glasgow Sheriff Court of engaging in a course of abusive behaviour. He separately pled guilty by breaching a bail condition by contacting the woman after his initial release from custody. The offences began three years after McNicol's last of his 48 recorded fights.

Prosecutor Darren Harty said in his closing speech to jurors: "He saw McNicol in a red top with a 'Jason' mask on holding a machete over his right shoulder.” McNicol replied: "Yes." When police arrived at McNicol's home, the woman was described as in "obvious distress." Officers spoke about the number of locks on the doors.
