Forget his last few as a Featherweight, but he was a very solid European Super Bantam champ with a pair of lovely looking wins over Kiko.

Determination to make the absolute most of his ability.

Sorry wasn’t sure if it meant domestic level or just from UK, anyway these boys all deserve more acclaim.

Could you name the British Champions at each weight?

Really good point, the domestic level gets bypassed by the mainstream media completely now. Have those titles been cheapened by the silly ‘wbo European’ trinkets I wonder? It’s a real shame. I wish an outlet would back a small hall promoter and put the show’s on late at night. The closest we have is 5 I suppose.

Horace was a late starter to boxing and raised a few eyebrows when he flattened Gloucester's Harold Hylton in the first round in the ABA heavyweight final at Wembley back in 1983, particularly as Hylton held a win over the big Brummie. Horace suddenly found himself in demand and was called up to represent Great Britain against America at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London in July 1983.
With a year to go before the Los Angeles Olympics, it proved a disastrous night for Britain as the likes of Tony Wilson, Keith Ferdinand, Peter Bradley, Steve Nolan and Orrie Jones were all soundly beaten, although Wilson nearly stopped Chicago's Johnny Williams at light-heavyweight before punching himself out in a thrilling contest. Flyweight Nolan had just won the ABA title with an easy decision over Pat Clinton, who froze on the night, but Paul Banke pushed the Londoner back and pinned him on the ropes for long periods on the way to a unanimous decision. Banke, the pick of the Americans, would win the WBC super-bantamweight title as a pro.
Scottish hope Bradley, another reigning ABA champion, was bombed out in the first round by featherweight Joe Loving, while lanky Tim Rabon also needed less than a round to dispose of the outgunned Jones at light-welterweight. Ferdinand lost to blubbery Kimmuel Odom in a super-heavyweight maul. Danny Porter, Roy Hutchinson, Danny Lee and Welshman Tony Price were other British losers on the night.
In the end we only had one winner: Notice destroyed Tim Fryerson of Indianapolis in the first round.

thanks for that. Shame he had to retire early as a pro.
