Columbo DD Ledge!!

Paul Stockton.

Mickey may did box unlicensed I see a tape of him boxing at dartford football club on the undercard to Roy Shaw vs Harry starbuck

Was he much cop, Darcy? I know he was a great coach and read he used to spar Roy Shaw.

Chris P Bacon was British Champion. A mate was scheduled to fight him, but Chris pulled out.

Julius francis boxed at streatham a week before his ABA 1/4 finals, and got grassed up, and thrown out of the ABAs, so turned pro after that,
Darren Covill had a few before pro
Ali Forbes,
Lester Jacobs,

Bennett is a bare knuckle champ now, isn't he?

Dom Negus v Danny Williams
Chris Nixon is local to me and a good pro
Kris Hassel is also a local lad recently turned over
A big proportion of MBC boxers
I have in my mind Robin Reid for some reason if anyone can clarify?

Paul Hilz & couple lads from down Essex have all boxed on the white collar (unlicensed) circuit especially at the circus tavern down there which is a Mecca for the unlicensed boxing before turning pro, Lennox Clarke & Manny Zaber in the Midlands, both Blackwell brothers I believe have and few others, to many to name, plus lots have boxed after retiring from the pro ranks, Dom Negus, Kid Milo, Andy Cosnett must of had 300 plus white collar fights after retiring from pro's, the list is endless really

Floyd Havard

Robin Reid has a spell on the circuit before his second run as a pro. After the sabbatical he used it to get sharp again

In Mike Tysons book he states that he had smokers which were bouts in the gym with people smoking around them. These were unofficial and not recorded by amateur governing bodies at the time. So essentially unlicensed

Floyd was a good boxer and had power too, I enjoyed watching him box. I thought he'd have been very busy as an amateur, he won an ABA title didn't he? Did he box on the circuit after his pro career or before?

Had a couple of fights on Joe Pyle's shows well after he quit, both on you tube I think.
A quality fighter.

Williams knocked him out.

"Tough man" the REF Curtis Thrasher...I am Friendship with during my stay up in Alaska ('86, & '87). He told me he once lost a "tough man" fight by a decision to (none other than) Greg Haugen....that's "unlicenced".

What's the name of the ex pro light heavy who stopped Lenny McClean

Johnny Waldron or cliff fields? Both apparently beat lenny

Not a champion he's 2-0 in it I went up to Nottingham to watch him the other month I was surprised at how well run and how good the crowd was. Bare knuckle boxing is definitely on the way up

How does "bare nuckle" work - do they wear bandages?

Also, do they have proper rounds over a set distance etc.

Do these fights happen in a ring or are they more like the YouTube vids in fields and car parks?
