  • Title: the Boxer's Point of View: an Ethnography of Cultural Production
    Title: The boxer’s point of view: an ethnography of cultural production and athletic development among amateur and professional boxers in England Name: Alex Stewart This is a digitised version of a dissertation submitted to the University of Bedfordshire. It is available to view only. This item is subject to copyright. The boxer’s point of view: An ethnography of cultural production and athletic development among amateur and professional boxers in England ALEX STEWART A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Luton August 2008 For Mum with all my Love Elizabeth Psaltis (1943-2003) i Abstract Since the late nineteenth century boxing in England has been socially organised into two ideologically distinctive versions - amateur and professional boxing – that to this day are practiced in spatially segregated social universes. Nonetheless, both amateur and professional boxing-practitioners understandings and lived experiences in and through boxing are necessarily grounded in the wider social and cultural contexts through which they interpret meaning and construct worldviews and identity. Thus despite the institutional, ideological and spatial boundaries demarcating either code, on a rather more subtle yet incredibly powerful cultural level, amateur and professional boxing are both symbolically and practically deeply intertwined. Over a five year period, I conducted ‘insider’ ethnographic research among distinct cohorts of amateur and professional boxers based in Luton and London to investigate the lived experiences and socially constructed worldviews, values and identities developed by practitioners immersed in either code. The overriding aim of this research was to critically evaluate the limits and possibilities of boxing-practitioners association with and development through ‘boxing’ henceforth.

  • Name: Michael Watson Career Record: Click Nationality: United
    Name: Michael Watson Career Record: click Nationality: United Kingdom Birthplace: London, England Hometown: Islington, London, United Kingdom Born: 1965-03-15 Stance: Orthodox Height: 5′ 11″ Manager: Mickey Duff Michael Watson (born March 15, 1965) is a former boxer from England. Born in London, he is a resident of Islington. Although he did not become a world champion, many in England see him as a hero. Watson debuted professionally as a boxer on October 16, 1984, beating Winston Wray by a knockout in round four in London. The great majority of his fights were fought in London, and only one of his fights was outside England. Watson rose quickly though the WBO Middleweight ranks, building a record of 18 wins, 1 loss and one draw before venturing for the first and only time outside his native soil. During that 20 fight span, he beat such notables as Don Lee and Ricky Stackhouse. Then, he went to Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, where he would fight to a two round technical draw (tie) with Israel Cole. Three wins followed, and then, Watson faced future world champion Nigel Benn for the British Commonwealth Middleweight title. In what would turn out to be his biggest career win, he defeated Benn by knockout in round six, on May 21, 1989. On April 14, 1990, he received his first world title try, when he challenged WBA world champion Mike McCallum, losing by a twelve round decision. After three more wins, he was given a second world title try, on June 22, 1991, against WBO world champion Chris Eubank.

  • Sport-And-The-Law.Pdf
    Both sport and law have courts: places where battles are staged, under the watching eye of an independent judge bound by a set of rules. But the relationship goes much deeper than that. And as the eyes of the world fall upon the UK, the highest court in the land has worked with the British Association for Sport and the Law, De Montfort University’s Faculty of Business and Law and its International Centre for Sports History and Culture to explore other aspects of the relationship between the two spheres. In this exhibition we look at how legal systems have been used to support greater professionalism. We also reflect on issues of diversity and equality, and show how the law has helped both create and resolve different disputes in sporting history. As the UK celebrates an incredible summer of sport, we hope this exhibition will inspire and inform those with a foot in either or both types of court to understand more about the contribution made by the other towards a healthy, peaceful society. Supported by: Free foundations The modern Olympics were based on Baron Pierre de Coubertin’s belief in the importance of amateur values: sportsmanship, fair play and opposition to payments to athletes. Its first rules stated that: “I. An amateur in athletics is to be considered as any person who has never participated in a competition open to all-comers, or competed for a cash prize or a sum of money from whatever source, in particular entry to the grounds – or with professionals – and who has never at any time of his life been a paid teacher or instructor of physical education.

From heavyweight to middleweight and welterweight, we’ve featured a pretty good spread of styles and personalities.

And they bring out the best in our photogra- pher: he’s always so polite to them. We met Chris at his fashionable Brighton home, where we delivered his new private registration plates and took the opportunity to chat about his career. The name Chris Eubank is not only familiar to fight fans: it is literally a household name. For Chris Eubank Jr this could be a blessing, a curse or both. While there must surely be a sense of a paternal shadow to be escaped by proving oneself and one’s own career, the advice and expertise of a successful and respected father must give a young fighter certain advantages and inspiration. “With the last name Eubank, there’s always been a lot of pressure to perform. Everyone expected me to be as good as my dad was from my very first fight.
