Boxing is my passion

I have been an avid boxing fan since my mother first told me many years ago as a youngster that great grandad was a  well known London boxer. I was most interested in my great aunts stories about Harry and her life growing up in Holloway , from the hustle and bustle of Islington to Harrys fights and his working life on the docks of London .
