Ronnie has a team of solicitors on the case. He says: "My dad's already done 12, nearly 13 years, he should be in a C category at the worst, or in a D category, which means he would be able to go out and get a job.
"The stories that he smashed up his cell because I became a Muslim were untrue."Three weeks before, when I was talking to him about the different faiths I had been looking into, he said, 'There is nothing wrong with being a Muslim'.
"I feel the justification that's been used for the move is, 'Oh, he smashed up his cell, therefore he's still violent. It was because his son has become a Muslim and he was put away for killing a black man, therefore he's a racist and must be kept locked up'. I will fight it all the way."
So what is the truth then, Ronnie? Have you become a Muslim?
"No," says Ronnie, "it was all an accident, a mix-up.
"I've been friends with the boxer Prince Naseem Hamed for two or three years and even better friends with his brother Morad, who has been very supportive of me. I love them both to bits.
"We had very deep conversations about the meaning of life and what it is all about. I have a nice house and car, yet I was happier when I was 14. It's all about material things not bringing you happiness."
Ronnie went along with the brothers to the Islamic Cultural Centre in London. He says: "I didn't realise the ceremony I was taking part in meant I was committing to the faith. People were gathering around me but I thought they were interested because I was a snooker star.
"I found Islam really fascinating and it holds a lot of interest for me because of the lifestyle. But I am not ready to live that life yet. There is a voice inside me that says it's not right for me."
