Jock McAvoy

One of the UK's finest and hardest hitting Middleweights ever.

A much avoided fighter by all accounts.

The fearsome punching McAvoy help various titles from Middleweight to Light-Heavyweight throughout the 1930's.

In 1935 he went to the USA and knocked out World Middleweight Champion Eddie 'Babe' Risko in 1 round, unfortunatly the Title was not on the line.
