Anyone spot a young Kevin Mitchell in that one? In the headgear.
Guy at the start is Sam Rowlandson, had a couple of fights at 91kg+ out of Collyhurst and Moston. Won both by KO and then packed it in to do other things.
Courtney Fry is fairly obvious.
Andrew Lowe who boxed out of Repton and then as a light heavyweight pro is the other black guy.
Not sure about the white lad with the fighter's nose.

SKY took it up a notch with Satisfied by Richard Marx and Some Like it Hot by The Power Station.

I can remember watching Peter Oboh vs Andrew Lowe on bbc back in my really early days of getting into boxing.
I know there’s guys here who dwarf my years of watching boxing but it’s now 25 years of watching boxing every weekend and following the results from around the world.

All 3 are crackers.
Great TV themes from the likes of Laurie Johnson, Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, Johnny Pearson, Ron Grainer and Mike Post are in short supply these days sadly.
Probably why I prefer the first tune, I like the 60's Adam West version of Batman.
Instantly reminded of old Harry and Frank
