 Howard Winstone - World Featherweight Champion - Merthyr Tydfil
Despite losing the top of three of the fingers on his right hand, Howard Winstone was such a brilliant boxer that after wining the British featherweight title in 1961 he remained in championship class until his retirement seven years later.

A second match at Cardiff resulted in the Welshman losing so narrowly that a third match was called for in Mexico City in which Winstone was compelled to retire with an eye injury in the 12th round.
