in the last 50 years of boxing in britain, we had alot of fine men fighting in this great country.

how many professional boxers do you know
that come from the same family that went on to be successful in boxing.

and whatever come of them, after they retired from boxing, are they still involved in the sport.

i am looking for, brothers, fathers and sons, uncles and nephews, cousing, and grandfathers and grandsons.

i look forward to your feed back boxing fans

The Sands brothers from Down Under: Clem, Ritchie, George, Dave, Alfie and Russell were all pros (six of 'em).
Dave, of course, was the most gifted.
