Guys,
I've been given a boxing glove signed by numerous people and slowly but surely I'm piecing together who has signed it.
It was obtained at a dinner in honour of Lennox Lewis in 2000.
Does anyone know much about Harold "the shadow" Knight, and someone called Arnie B.... - can't read the rest of the signature - who was allegedly Lennox's first coach ?
Coutney Shand I have worked out but is there someone called Al Garvin, or similar, that had something to do with Lennox ?
Thanks for any help guys.
The others that were in attendance and signatures easy to read were Lennox, Paul Ingle, Scott Harrison, Audley Harrison, Colin Hart (journalist).

Harold Knight challenged for the IBF super-featherweight title in 1988 and was outscored by Rocky Lockridge in one of the last 15-rounders. He was a big puncher and hurt Lockridge a few times but the champion proved too cute. Sadly, Knight later failed a brain scan and turned to training fighters. I believe he was Lennox's fitness guru.

Nice one Bennie, thanks for that.
Just need to find out who Lennox's first coach was and who"Al Garvin" ? is, then I can move on to the rest.
There are three or four other signatures which to be honest I can't make out at all.

Arnie Boehm. Google him.

Mickey,
Bang on pal !
Thanks very much. So sad to see he had passed away but clearly a highly respected coach.

Solved another.
It's Al Gavin, the legendary cutsman, and sadly another hall of famer who is no longer with us.

Harold was assıstant traıner, Courtney was condıtıoner

Thanks mate, slowy getting there.
There are two other signatures I just can't make out.
I was hoping one was Manny - but it isn't.

Wouldn't be surprısed ıf Pepe Correa was on there and maybe John Davenport, Lennox's orıgınal pro traıner? Just guessıng based on the names you've mentıoned so far
