Former UFC welterweight champion Leon Edwards recently spoke about postcode wars that have plagued England and other countries, including Jamaica where ‘Rocky’ spent much of his youth before moving to the UK.
For those unfamiliar, the postcode wars refer to a time when groups of teenagers, usually boys, would defend their “turf” by fighting gangs from other postal codes if they dared to enter a postcode they did not reside in. It’s not entirely different from the turf wars between rival gangs in the United States like the Crips and the Bloods that dominated American television in the mid-to-late 90s.
