SUMMER HOLIDAYS

HERE we go…

We are off to Saudi Arabia during a month when the old boxing game would close in Britain.

There was a time when boxing shut down in the summer and in 1970, there was not one professional show in Britain in August. The following year there was just one show and only three fights on that show. It was the dark season, make no mistake.

The only way to get a living was to travel overseas searching for a payday, hoping for a fair shake and trying to get back in one piece.
