Does anyone have any information on Benjiman Moody, Jimmy Moody and George Moody as boxers? They were all Frank and Glen' brothers

Hi William
Some info on Ben and Jim on the BoxRec.com site.  Nothing for George.

Benny Moody (Pontypridd) was a professional boxer who was active between 1934 and 1936.  He took part in 6 professional contests
1936-03-27   Jim Moody v Frank Smart at Dolphin Greyhound Stadium, Slough.  W RTD 3/6   
1936-02-24   JM v Charlie Spencer at    Hammersmith   L PTS   6/6   
1935-03-08   JM v Billy Elward at Town Hall, Maesteg   L TKO   2/8   
 
Ben Moody (Pontypridd) was a professional boxer who was active between 1919 and 1928.  He took part in 16 professional contests.
1921 April 28 Ben Moody v Charlie Morris at Liverpool Stadium, Pudsey Street, Liverpool, L TKO 3rd round.

The only way is to trawl through archive newspapers online.
