I have just finished entering Bowker's record, borrowed from the CBZ. It appears to me his two KO-6 bouts against Harold Walker in Manchester (July 17, 1914 & July 17, 1916) may be duplication. Anyone know?

I think that the 1916 fight is the correct one :see Bowker's record by Vic Hardwicke in 1986 Britsih Boxing Yearbook

1916 is the correct date. It was on the undercard of Owen Moran v Billy Marchant. Tancy Lee also fought on this bill and Jimmy Wilde gave two exhibitions.
