Good afternoon, i have been researching my great grand father's boxing career. He was a welterweight and middleweight british boxing champion winning the lonsdale belt outright in 1918.
BoxRec has his name as O'Keefe, when infact it's 2 f's - O'Keeffe. The picture this site uses for him even has his signature on it:
http://nla.gov.au/nla.obj-148529894/view
BoxRec's WIKI is doesn't have him. can i create one? his unique ID is:32179
Also, i have his biography, which shows his fighting record as W:58 D:2 L:21 ND:3 -Different to the sites record. The bio has all the names, dates, places and times of the fights in a table, can up load if anyone wishes?
sorry if i have put this in the wrong place...im new here! And have just realised that there is a records forum that is probably far more appropriate for this post, if a MOD see's this, can it be moved there?

Have also found his name spelt correctly with 2 F's in a tonne of news articles from the British Newspaper Archive. it mentions lots of other boxers in this era too:

Good afternoon, im emailing this to [email protected] and posting on the forum as i don’t know who is actioning my requests? can see that you have changed his name to 2 F’s, thank you very much, but i see one instance where its not still at the top of the page:
http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Pat_O ... of_London)
His birthplace was Bromley-By-Bow which is in London, not Bromley. he was also a welterweight for the first part of his career. He died in August 1960 so was 77.
Are you looking at the fight record i posted on the site and and emailed? on comparison, there are a few fights his biography lists that your site doesn’t and vice versa! would it help if i typed out the biography fight record and posted it for ease of research? Very nice to see that someone has already clearly put a lot of time and effort into this one profile, let alone the 1000’s of other boxers over the last 150 yrs. Thanks for your help and time.

Good evening, have one last post to bug you with...
PSB an excel spreadsheet version of Pat O'Keeffe's fight record from his biography.
I think the 3 No Decisions in his career are counted as Draws in your sites records, so 5 ties in.

kind regards.
