Great find!!!

Looking at Len Harvey's record, if my maths is correct he had his first pro fight aged 12!!! He also won a lonsdale belt outright at 2 different weights (middle and light heavy). One heck of a fighter!

He also won the British Heavyweight title, and fought for the British Welter drawing over 20 rounds.
