boxing weekly dates
Posted: 29 Sep 2014, 06:57
Can anyone give me exact dates of when Boxing weekly owned by Barry Hugman started and finished. Was it early 90s?????
Volume 1, number 1, was week commencing 24 January 1990.
Volume 1, number 50, was week ending 9 January 1991 (not sure why they had switched to "week ending" from "week commencing"). That was the last one - the back page says that after that point, Boxing Weekly will be incorporated within Boxing Monthly Update, a magazine that was planned to come out on the second Thursday of every month, priced at £1.30, to fall between each issue of Boxing Monthly. First one was scheduled for 17 January 1991. I don't recall ever seeing a copy of Boxing Monthly Update, though - not sure it ever actually happened.
Hope that helps.
