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.

  • 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.
