Ken something

I cant find any boxer on Boxrec with the name Ken Something. He was a pro, showed a photo of him had about 16 fights

[palooka]

There's about 60 episodes on demand.

Took my lad to Hope and walked up a mountain to Aston; I am bushed. Sheffield and the Peak district is hard core.

Palooka watch todays episode then. Cant be that hard. Already had one reply with the guys first name which is Ken. Lives in Devon now but is a cockney. I rhink he said fought in the 50's

[palooka]

'Can't be that hard'? You've never tried to get the control in our house.

I'm sure eric will know but probably wont share.

[Mimmy]

After scouring through all the 'Kens' on Boxrec I can only find 1 'Ken' that has lost 6 times and fought in the 50's so im going to say this could well be the 'Ken' on that programme

He could well be one of those guys who claims to be a 'professional' boxer but has never actually boxed professionally. I'm not saying that he is one of them but there are plenty of them about

[Mimmy]

On the tv program it showed him in a boxing pose, not saying that makes him a pro but he looked genuine enough. The gym he was building is in Devon so that could narrow it down a bit

[Old bones Ian]

I'd be surprised if that guy was the man, he looked about 6 foot tall nowadays, couldn't see him being a featherweight

What? To people that want to live in Devon? You should change your name to columbo

(Just messing mimmy)

Most likely one I could find was Ken Bebbington.

About right age (the programme dated back a few years).
Remember, he is going to forget/exaggerate his record.
BUT, the bloke on the programme, still in good shape, looked bigger than a welterweight.
