He did fight a Freddie Welsh. His number is 165500

Wow if there is film of him that would be incredible.

Hi Controversial

Yes, he did have a very interesting life. He came from a very poor family, fled wars and persecution, was a bit of a ratbag, became a famous war hero winning many medals and then an incredible good Samaritan. There's a lot of story to tell.

Dear Miles and Controversial - thanks for this info. Miles I will PM you - I am keen to learn more. I am writing a biography on him so any info will help. He was a brit in the army and his close friend was Alfred Burley. As they were good mates I am only guessing that Alf boxed too but have no idea ...

Does anyone know anything about Jack Daniels, who boxed competitively from 1906 to 1922? Also, I am looking for an Alfred Burley for around that same time, but I don't know what name he boxed under. Any ideas will help.
