In 1951 Hugman first laced on gloves and found himself very much at home in boxing, continuing to spar with good boys locally and then further afield while learning the rudiments of the sport. Although he had never participated as a registered boxer once he joined his local club, Finchley Amateur Boxing Club, as a bantamweight in 1960 he quickly made his mark under the tutilage of Les Kirk, a former pro welterweight, scoring a second-round kayo over Edgware&#039;s Johnny James in his first senior contest. Fast-tracked to the ABA championships, he failed to make it after breaking his right thumb with the first punch of the fight against a future pro in Johnny Coats before losing narrowly on points. Although coming back strongly his brittle hands continued to let him down forcing him to continuously use ice packs, and when scar tissue damage to his left eye occured almost certainly caused by a lace when heading a heavy football it was all over at the age of 21. After representing his school on the football and cricket fields, Hugman moved on to play for the Finchley Football club juniors and Finchley Colts cricket side, but left both sports when he realised that he was far too light to play senior football at a good level following a trial at Crystal Palace FC and found that he could not afford the time to continue with cricket as a budding wrist spinner.  </div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>Hugman&#039;s interest in sport, especially boxing, football and cricket began at a very young age, and he soon found himself physical involved in all three sports as well as studying them seriously.
