PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN

Post by Baileyzakk009 »

I am hoping someone can help me.
I am trying to research my much loved grandfathers boxing record and i am not having a great deal of luck.

I have searched your site thorougly for hours looking to find any info that you may have on his records. I am unsure if he was a pro fighter if there was such a thing is the late 30s and that is why i can not find anything ?
He fought under the name of Goerge Johns and fought at both Fitzroy stadium and West melbourne stadium. His actual name was Wilfred James Price or Bill Price
His manager/Trainer was his father Mark Robert Price.
He also trained at a gym in Bourke street in Melbourne at the same Gym as a boxer called Vic Young.

I do have a very old scrap book that my grandmother kept for him of all the cuttings from newspapers of the days that has him listed as the best boy of the week but has no other details regarding his record. i also have his boxing shorts that i treasure more than anything in the world.

If any one can help me at all i would truley appreciate it as it would mean a geat deal to know what is record was and any other info any one could give me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Kind regards
