Volume 1, number 1, was week commencing 24 January 1990.

Volume 1, number 50, was week ending 9 January 1991 (not sure why they had switched to "week ending" from "week commencing"). That was the last one - the back page says that after that point, Boxing Weekly will be incorporated within Boxing Monthly Update, a magazine that was planned to come out on the second Thursday of every month, priced at £1.30, to fall between each issue of Boxing Monthly. First one was scheduled for 17 January 1991. I don't recall ever seeing a copy of Boxing Monthly Update, though - not sure it ever actually happened.

Hope that helps.
