Boxers from Leicester ?

Not the best, but Len Wickwar has the most remakable record, 465 fights and well over 300 wins.

What an amazing career! He spent his time fighting 10, 12 and 15 round fights, often having two or three in the same WEEK, or even on 2 or 3 days in a row, and sometimes on the same NIGHT!

Always funny when your old posts come up.

I wonder how Wickwar's career affected his health in later life. His Boxrec page said he passed away at 69 in 1980, which was probably about average then.

The late Shaun Cummings. A real handful he was.
