Boxing ???

[cranstone]

Hi

As a last resort, would anyone know anything about Boxing?

My great-grandfather was a Heavyweight Boxer and I have been told he won many cups.

Would these have been professional fights or bouts?  I thought bouts were illegal?

I'd like to find out more about boxing in the early 1900's.

Many thanks

Hi,  I have just seen your info.  I have just found details about one of my uncle who I didnt even know boxed  professionally, but he fought the brother of johnny farr what a surprise.  I am attaching the website  and  Miles is such a helpful man.
