Boxing on ANTIQUES ROADSHOW

has anyone ever seen Boxing items on the show?

Is the show still in production(?), and could they be persuaded to do a feature show on Boxing; it is an English sport after all, with well over 200 years of history/memorabilia. The stuff that must be out there, and not just in the possession of collectors either!

I'm sure the show is still in production. I see it on PBS every day in San Diego. I think it would be hard to convince them to do a "boxing only" show,but some of us can share the things we've collected over the years. I'll start.

Bob Brettle's silver belt was on there a few years back. I think it was one of his descendents that was on the show.

Brettle split 3 bouts with Jem Mace fro the welterweight championship of England.

didnt someone bring archie moore to the show a few years back?
arthur negus looked him over and said "hhmm, i think its mahogany, in very good condition for its age. you'd probably get a pretty penny for it at auction"
