Mini Bio

There are a number of bouts included in the 1986 British Boxing Yearbook that are a regurgitation of entries originally included in the 1921 'Boxing' Book of Records. Whilst I suspect that these contests did take place, until I can definitely confirm them they have been excluded from this record. Fight Record
