I am a family historian and we have recently discovered a family link to a Cuban Boxer named Joey Coego who fought from 1931-1939. He won and lost the Cuban Lightweight title on several occasions between 1934 and 1939. I have found his record.

I am looking for more informatoion on this figther. Birthdate, place of birth, parents, addresses and in particular magazine Articles or a photo of this fighter in action. A reference as to where I could locate a possible newspaper sports story for that time period would also be apprecited.

I'm pretty sure I have Coego photos in my file. I will search tonight and let you know.

I have a couple of photos and some newspaper clips on Coego. The clips have been scanned and are rather dark and hard to read and they are in Spanish.

Send me an email to [email protected] and I'll send you what I have.

Incidentally, the record in box rec is incomplete and probably missing several dozen fights. I have been addind them as I find them... Joe Coego was a very popular fighter in Cuba and had a reputation for always providing an exciting performance.

For those who follow this thread, I believe we have another happy box rec user. Last night I sent -to his email- two photos and a couple of articles and I am still looking for some more...
