Ken Salisbury is a born and bred Scouser who boxed amateur in Liverpool, emigrated to Oz and turned pro there. He went unbeaten and picked up the Commonwealth light-middleweight title before making his way back for a defence against Bristol's Nick Wilshire at the Albert Hall in 1985. Ken boxed neatly enough but southpaw Wilshire essentially walked through him. Salisbury was pulled out at the end of the second round with a cut.

Disgusting watching that. Mindless idiots. The guy with the fire extinguisher did made me laugh though. Nothing worse than having your clothes ruined
For a while I thought he was trying to call things down, disperse the crowd by spraying them. Then he launched the extinguisher at someone

That ref in the Salisbury fight knew his stuff, lovely 3 punch combination coming out of a clinch.

Absolute vermin. I know a coach there who had to get his disabled daughter out to safety. Utter filth the scumbags behind this. Take your squabbles into a field somewhere and leave decent people out of it.

Shocking, were any real people hurt or was it just gypsies?

A bit of research reveals that the ref was a former commonwealth champ at light middleweight. Very handy indeed.
