The judge who jailed Bulcroft said he had “retailed” about 5kg of the drug, “no doubt to significant financial profit”.
At his trial in February 2025, jurors were told how he used the pseudonym “Yummycub” to buy “significant amounts” of cocaine around the time of the coronavirus pandemic.
Bulcroft, formerly of of Crane Moore Close in Harlington, initially denied the charge against him, but admitted to his role in the conspiracy ahead of his sentencing after a jury delivered a unanimously guilty verdict following a four-day trial.
Sentencing him, Judge Peter Hampton told Bulcroft: “The reality is you chanced your arm at trial, just as you chanced your arm at offending.”
He was told he would serve up to 40% of his sentence in jail.
Bullcroft’s former stable included champions at British, European and world level.
He is perhaps best known for guiding the career of three-weight world champion Terri Harper, as well as several other Doncaster-based fighters who have competed at international level.
They include Jamie McDonnell, Maxi Hughes and Jason Cunningham.
