Looking for more records/archives...

[71141]

Does anyone know if there are more archives available for featherweight (or under) boxers from the fifties? My father was a young boxer who boxed semi-professionally for a short time. It would have been in the New Jersey, New York areas. I don't know the years but, it was before my parents got married in 1955... so 52-54 maybe? He was young at the time. My mother does doesn't remember his knick-name but, his real name is Frank Fleming. I was trying to find this without asking him too much, as a surprise... but I have had no luck as of yet. Any suggestions and/or assistance would be appreciated, thank you.

Try contacting Henry Hascup, Director of the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame. He is very knowledgeable.
