Freddie Mills an appreciation Freddie Mills was the first world champion that I'd ever heard of from my father, just about the time he (my father) was trying to get me to put on the old horse hair filled gloves he's brought back from India whilst living in a tenement flat in Kilmahew Street in Ardrossan. Freddie had little use for finesse, he captured the public imagination and admiration by his “guts” as a fighter who would accept punishment without flinching and still fight back until he got on top, all of which combined with an innate sense of chivalry endeared him to the fans as well as his opponents. Freddie was scheduled to have a rematch with Lesnevich, but displacement of the vertebrae at the base of the skull meant that it had to be postponed for treatment. www.britishboxing.net /news_1639-Freddie-Mills-an-appreciation.html   (1027 words)

Pugilistica Vintage Boxing Memorabilia In 1940 Bert won an eliminator against the well noted and world ranked Arthur 'Ginger' Sadd for McAvoy's crown.  Fate proved to be a curse rather than a blessing at this point as Bert suffered a serious injury while on Military manoeuvres and broke his pelvis bone.

Bert Gilroy's final score was 119 fights, 86 (44) wins, 25 loses 8 draws, he was Scotland's longest reigning Champion, Scotland's greatest 'Bigman' and the greatest Scottish fighter never to 'hold' a British or World title. www.pugilistica.com /generic31.html   (704 words)

How boxing champion was driven to suicide by threat from Krays | Special reports | Guardian Unlimited It later emerged that, in the days before his death, Mills had asked several prominent figures in London's gangland whether they could provide him with a pistol, seemingly aware that his life was in danger. He remains convinced that someone had taken the gun off Mills and shot him with it, but he was not called to give evidence at the inquest. According to Morton, Mills simply felt he had no way out and the evidence that suggests his death could not have been suicide is flawed. www.guardian.co.uk /crime/article/0,2763,1258657,00.html   (1166 words)
