The Old Timer
This magazine is now available for £4.70 inc p+p, it is the first of a series, and I aim to produce three or four each year. The magazine will feature a series of detailed articles on pre war boxers, drawing on information that I gather from the very many families that I help. Each edition will have eight or ten articles with good quality photographs and boxers records included. I will be selling the magazine on ebay but can also supply direct.
You can call me on 01748 823844 to order
