  • Myrrh NPR I129 This Newsletter Is Dedicated to the Nucry of Jim
    International Boxing Research Organization Myrrh NPR i129 This newsletter is dedicated to the nucry of Jim Jacobs, who was not only a personal friend, but a friend to all boxing his- torians. Goodbye, Jim, I'll miss you. From: Tim Leone As the walrus said, "The time has come to talk of many things". This publication marks the 6th IBRO newsletter which has been printed since John Grasso's departure. I would like to go on record by saying that I have enjoyed every minute. The correspondence and phone conversations I have with various members have been satisfing beyond words. However, as many of you know, the entire financial responsibility has been paid in total by yours truly. The funds which are on deposit from previous membership cues have never been forwarded. Only four have sent any money to cover membership dues. To date, I have spent over $6,000.00 on postage, printing, & envelopes. There have also been a quantity of issues sent to prospective new members, various professional groups, and some newspapers.I have not requested, nor am I asking or expecting any re-embursement. The pleasure has been mine. However; the members have now received all the issues that their dues (sent almost two years ago) paid for. I feel the time is prudent to request new membership dues to off-set future expenses. After speaking with various members, and taking into consideration the post office increase April 1, 1988, a sum of $20.00, although low to the point of barely breaking even, should be asked for.

Betty met Roth at a dance and asked him during the course of conversation what he did for a living. The exchanges went something like this: Al (swelling out his chest and trying to look nonchalant "I'm a professional boxer." Betty (surprised): What a coincidence! My boy friend is a fighter—his name is Harry Mizler." Al: "Oh, that guy. I may be meeting him in the ring soon which will be tough luck for him. I’ll slaughter him." TIPPED FOR TITLE That story may carry more than one moral, but it may also have spurred Mizler to be at the peak or his form and outpoint the American by an overwhelming margin over ten rounds. Certainly Harry looked brilliant and besides being awarded a "Boxing News" Certificate of Merit was very strongly tipped to regain the British lightweight title. For the contest, made at ten stone. John Harding paid Mizler £250 and Roth £150. And to this day looks back at the promotion and considers it the best bargain he over made.

  • Name: Joe Beckett Career Record: Boxer
    Name: Joe Beckett Career Record: http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=032006&cat= boxer Nationality: British Birthplace: Wickham, England Hometown: Southhampton Born: 1892-04-04 Died: 1965-03-12 Age at Death: 72 Height: 5′ 9″ Reach: 71.5" KNUCKLES AND GLOVES BY BOHUN LYNCH . WITH A PREFACE BY SIR THEODORE COOK First Impression, October, 1922 CHAPTER VI TOMMY BURNS AND JOE BECKETT IN order to dispose of Tommy Burns so far as this book is concerned, it is necessary to break the chronological order of contests and jump twelve years. Between his defeat by Johnson and the encounter to be described now, the records tell us that he engaged in five matches, none of the first importance. Then, in July of 1920, an affair was arranged with Joe Beckett, the Heavy-weight Champion of England. This took place at the Albert Hall, and should be regarded rather as an event than as an athletic contest. As already suggested, the interest in many widely-advertised glove-fights is spurious: a passion of sensationalism stimulated by the Press. The fight between Beckett and Burns hardly comes under that head, because there is always a genuine interest in watching the return of a veteran, whether that veteran be boxer or prima donna. Burns had been in the hey-day of his fame when Joe Beckett was a young lad. He had been execrated by sportsmen for his trick of "mouth- fighting," for trying to intimidate his antagonists by heaping insult upon injury during the course of a battle; and also for his rank commercialism.

  • Our Sporting Heroes
    Our Sporting Heroes The Royal Welch Fusiliers has associations with many successful and elite sportsmen. Some reached the pinnacle of their success when serving with the Regiment; others laid the foundations of later success during their service. A selection of their stories can be found on these pages. Sport has long been important to the British Army, as a means of furthering fitness, team spirit and individual achievement. The RWF Depot Cricket Team, 1898 Prize fights in the Army were established early in the 19th century and a formal School of Army Gymnastics was set up at Aldershot after the Crimean War. Sport was included in 19th century Army reforms designed to improve the lot of the ordinary soldier and as a stimulus to recruiting. Physical Education played an important role in training while other sports were used to bring a sense of discipline to recreation. Soldiers had a lot of recreation time to fill, particularly those on garrison duty abroad. Officers brought an enthusiasm for sport engendered at public schools. Sport was therefore an 1st Battalion RWF Football Team, interest that could be shared by both officers and men - good for inter-rank relationships. Dublin 1912 Football and Rugby Football have traditionally been the most popular sports in the Army reflecting the situation in civilian life. Annual Army Athletics Meetings were held from 1876. After an initial reluctance to embrace the sport, Army Boxing Championships were established from 1892. Indian Army Boxing 2nd Battalion RWF Boxing Team, Hong Kong Championships were in place by 1912. 1937 Sport is still included in routine fitness training and units hold regular sporting events.

  • Lord Lonsdale Boxing Belt
    By Appointment to Her Majesty The Queen Manufacturer of Insignia, Honours and Awards Thomas Fattorini Ltd Birmingham History of the Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belt Originally introduced by Hugh Lowther (5th Earl of Lonsdale) in 1909, the Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belt is the oldest belt to be awarded in the sport of Boxing. As the first President of the National Sporting Club, Lord Lonsdale launched the belt as the new prize trophy for the British Champion at each weight division. The first being won in 1909 by Freddie Welsh - Lightweight. Hugh Lowther (5th Earl of Lonsdale) Fattorini “Britain’s most experienced badgemaker” “Bombardier” Billy Wells from London’s East End was the first British Heavyweight to win the Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belt back in 1911 where he defeated Ian Hague with a knockout in the sixth round. He defended the title thirteen times, a record that stood for many years, before losing against Joe Beckett in Freddie Hall Thomas February 1919. The Lord Lonsdale (AKA Freddie Welsh) Challenge Lonsdale Belt that he won was the original heavyweight belt and is crafted from 22 carat gold. It is reported this belt is kept at The Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, South East London. (not on display to the general public). A total of 22 Lord Lonsdale Challenge Belts were issued by the National Sporting Club until the British Boxing Board of Control began it’s governance in 1929 and began Billy Wells (AKA The Bombadier) awarding the belts. The belts then became the property of any champion who won three title fights in a division.
