World champ Larry Holmes on the cover of Big Book of Boxing in 1982. Holmes had defeated Renaldo "Mr" Snipes by 11th round TKO on live, primetime TV with Howard Cosell doing the call to set the stage for a huge money showdown vs Gerry Cooney. #Heavyweight #History #Boxing
RIP to esteemed amateur coach and former ABA finalist Billy Taylor who has passed away at the age of 69. The Repton featherweight would represent Team GB as an Olympian alongside the likes of Maurice Hope and Alan Minter at Munich in 1972. #RIPChamp
Just days after the horrible death of Graciano Rocchigiani, German boxing suffered another blow when Karl Mildenberger died at the age of 80 late last week. Mildenberger is the first ever southpaw to fight for the world heavyweight title, challenging Muhammad Ali in 1966.
Promoter Don Chargin passed away a few days ago. This man WAS boxing in Sacramento and staged some memorable shows.
Former German boxing star Graciano Rocchigiani died in a tragic road accident yesterday in Italy at the age of 54. He was struck by an overtaking car while crossing the road. He was in Italy to visit his Italian girlfriend.
