Guys,
I've been given a boxing glove signed by numerous people and slowly but surely I'm piecing together who has signed it.
It was obtained at a dinner in honour of Lennox Lewis in 2000.
Does anyone know much about Harold "the shadow" Knight, and someone called Arnie B.... - can't read the rest of the signature - who was allegedly Lennox's first coach ?
Coutney Shand I have worked out but is there someone called Al Garvin, or similar, that had something to do with Lennox ?
Thanks for any help guys.
The others that were in attendance and signatures easy to read were Lennox, Paul Ingle, Scott Harrison, Audley Harrison, Colin Hart (journalist).

Re: Help needed
Harold Knight challenged for the IBF super-featherweight title in 1988 and was outscored by Rocky Lockridge in one of the last 15-rounders. He was a big puncher and hurt Lockridge a few times but the champion proved too cute. Sadly, Knight later failed a brain scan and turned to training fighters. I believe he was Lennox's fitness guru.twenty six wrote:Guys,

Re: Help needed
Nice one Bennie, thanks for that.
Just need to find out who Lennox's first coach was and who"Al Garvin" ? is, then I can move on to the rest.
There are three or four other signatures which to be honest I can't make out at all.

Mickey,
Bang on pal !
Thanks very much. So sad to see he had passed away but clearly a highly respected coach.

Solved another.
It's Al Gavin, the legendary cutsman, and sadly another hall of famer who is no longer with us.

There are two other signatures I just can't make out.
