Such sad news about Mark Kaylor
Huge admiration for him as an amateur & pro, he was as hard as they came, we enjoyed watching him box numerous times throughout the 80s.
And almost convinced him to join us as a guest of honour at one of our dinner shows a few years ago
RIP Mark 🙏🙏

A lovely lady we often spoke with on here - will be a big miss.
Rest easy Melanie 🙏

Lloyd Honeyghan did things the old fashioned way, winning British, Commonwealth and European welterweight titles before securing a shot (#OnThisDay in 1986) at the formidable Donald Curry, one of only two undisputed world champions in the sport (Marvin Hagler was the other).
Familiar murmurs of Curry struggling at the weight did little to dissuade experts that he would win. What followed was arguably the greatest of all victories achieved by a British fighter as he took the fight to Curry from the start, wobbled him in the second, gritted his teeth in rounds three and four, before regaining control in the fifth. At the end of the sixth, on the advice of the ringside doctor, Curry was pulled out.
After having 20 stitches administered to his cut eye, another to his lip, and a broken nose treated, Curry called a press conference at 1.30am where he delivered promises that he would rule again.
