Final issue being published on April 31st...

I've got a lot of duplicate copies of The Ring and need quite a few issues if anyone fancies trading....

Good call!

Well done!

I didn't realise Joe Gatti was known as "Lightning" until I watched the Arturo Gatti v Richard DeJesus fight recently & noticed one of the cornermen had Joe "Lightning" Gatti on the back of his jacket.

Well done again!

Which 2 boxing brothers had nicknames that linked them together (e.g. "Salt" & "Pepper")....for every wrong answer I'll post another clue.

1st clue - the younger brother made his pro debut on the undercard of his elder brother's fight in 1991

Well done!

I'm guessing, given the era and the weight division, maybe the Krays?

Which heavyweight retired with a record of 0-31 (27 KOs) - 0, among his fights were 3 losses to a future world champion?

Ray Gilbody lost to Sandy Odanga on Odanga's debut 01/02/1985. Odanga never boxed again and Gilbody became British bantamweight champ in the fight that followed

Bill Beynon lost to Charlie Durn on Durn's debut - 22/07/1911 - Durn never boxed again and Beynon went on to become British champ?

Was it Johnny Brown losing to Young Fogelman on Fogelman's debut - points 07/02/1921? Fogelman never boxed again and Brown became British bantamweight champ in 1923 by beating Bugler Harry Lake.

Can we have the weight division as the first clue please?

Marvin Camel vs Roddy McDonald, may 83. Inaugural vacant ibf-cruiserweight titlefight. Right off the top of my head of course😜just wasn't sure if it was rocky macdonald or roddy mcdowall. Is it even that one or some trick behind the question? Close. Camel vs McDonald was 13th Dec 1983, but the titl...

It had to either Hagler or Holmes. Pretty sure it's Hagler/Scypion I think you're right with Hagler / Scypion. Originally I was looking for Bobby Berna vs Seung-In Suh for the vacant IBF junior featherweight title on 04/12/1983 (because this, originally, was a query submitted to The Ring magazine i...

Okay - here we go - What was the first IBF title fight?

Well done! The Ring reported him as having "...the number 22 shaved into the back of his head. In his homeland, this would serve as a warning of a crazy man" - so if it was a tattoo - apologies for my misleading clue.



Anyone want to keep this trivia thread going?

Sorry - no - another good suggestion though

Last clue (and then I'll give the answer) - the fight went the distance

Bernard Paul. Born on october 22nd and looking for win number 22 when he fought hatton? No sorry - but again excellent reasoning! Clue 3: The fighter in question's bout with Hatton was the only time he fought in the UK and he only fought twice outside of his home country again after the Hatton fight.

Nope

Second clue: The fighter isn't from the UK

paddy chavez wrote: ↑28 Sep 2018, 05:12 Carlos maussa ..... he'd had 22 fights.
Just a guess

Not the right answer, but good reasoning

First clue - the fight took place before (but not immediately before) the Maussa fight

Which of Ricky Hatton's opponents had the number 22 shaved into the back of his head, and what did this represent?

In addition to those already mentioned, Micky Ward.

Spot on mate - well done!

For every incorrect answer I'll post another clue..... Who am I? I am the retired boxing older brother of a more well known deceased boxer I won the International Boxing Council Inter-Continental Title (not going to tell you at what weight yet) Neither my brother or myself fought in the UK I lost my...
