I have a list of fighters from Blackpool, including several who sparred with Brian London in July and August 1966,
helping him prepare for his bout with Cassius Clay.

Brian seemed to very popular with the 'older' Local Residents and Vacationers who frequented
Pontin's Holiday Camp.

Brian London was a credit to the British Boxing Sport.
I don't think that my great grandad would of been sparring him around that time, it will be probably impossible for me to find out when he was, though I would imagine it probably would of been earlier in Londons career as like many people my great grandad stopped competing when he started a family but I will try and find some more information out today. If only I could of figured this stuff out a couple of years ago before my great grandma died she would of been able to tell me more than my nan who was still pretty young around that time.
