Famous fights

This is my original copy of boxing newspaper Famous Fights: Past and Present. The paper ran from 1901 to 1904 and is eagerly sought by collectors and historians alike.


On the front cover of this copy is a fight between Frank Slavin and Jem Smith. Although the condition of this copy isn't perfect, it is complete. like much of my collection, I am unsure of its value so would be interested in any comments you might have about this.

Muhammad Ali Vs. Joe Bugner programme

This programme was presented by Viewsport live from Las Vegas on the night of Wednesday 14th February 1973.

Although the scorecards were lopsided, Bugner fought well and he won the respect of the boxing media and public alike.
