The Doncaster man was convicted by a jury at
Sheffield
Crown
Court
and will be sentenced at the same court on 26 August.
The court heard Bulcroft - whose most celebrated fighter is three-weight world champ Terri Harper - used the Encrochat encrypted phone network to buy "significant amounts" of cocaine under the pseudonym "Yummycub".
Bulcroft denied he was Yummycub but claimed boxers he trained would sometimes stay at his house and one of them was Yummycub.
Bulcroft did not name anyone he suspected it might have been and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing from any of the fighters associated with Bull.

In the ring, Bulcroft was a British lightweight champion in 2006 but he went on to lose against Amir Khan and Curtis Woodhouse, before retiring in 2010.
In the corner, Bulcroft earned respect for the work he did with twins Jamie and Gavin McDonnell and Jason Cunningham.
The sentencing range for conspiracy to supply a Class A drug ranges from a high-level community order to 16 years imprisonment.
A spokesperson for the British Boxing Board of Control Central Area Council said Bulcroft's licenses as a trainer, manager and promoter would be reviewed following his sentencing.

David Coote charged by Football Association over Jurgen Klopp comments
Former Premier League referee David Coote has been charged by the Football Association over remarks he made about ex-Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp. Coote was sacked last December by Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) after a video circulated on social media the previous month of him making derogatory comments about Klopp in July 2020. One of those remarks referenced Klopp's nationality, and the FA said that constituted an alleged 'aggravated breach' under its rules. The FA said Coote would face no further action in regard to separate allegations of gambling misconduct, which he had strenuously denied. The FA said those allegations had been fully investigated. PGMOL said in confirming Coote's dismissal last December that his position had become 'untenable' after the video surfaced. In it, Coote is heard saying it had been 's***' to be fourth official at a Liverpool match in the summer of 2020, describing Klopp as a 'German c***'. He also said Klopp was 'f****** arrogant'. Coote was banned by European football's governing body UEFA in February until June 30, 2026 after a different video emerged of him snorting a white powder through a bank note while in Germany for last summer's Euros. David Coote has been banned by UEFA until the end of June 2026 (Richard Sellers/PA) In January, Coote came out as gay in an interview with The Sun and said that a lifelong struggle to hide his sexuality had contributed to the rant about Klopp, and to his drug use. 'My sexuality isn't the only reason that led me to be in that position. But I'm not telling an authentic story if I don't say that I'm gay and that I've had real struggles with hiding that,' he said. 'I hid my emotions as a young ref and I hid my sexuality as well — a good quality as a referee but a terrible quality as a human being. And that's led me to a whole course of behaviours.' The FA has not shared a date by which Coote must respond to the charge. Coote has not been charged in relation to messages exchanged with a Leeds fan concerning the issuing of a yellow card in 2019. As the Klopp charge is an alleged case of discrimination, the PA news agency understands an independent regulatory commission will deal with the matter, and impose sanctions as it sees fit if Coote accepts the charge or it is found proven.
