Via Spitalfields Life
Contributing Photographer John Claridge and I were back at the first London Ex-Boxers Association gathering of the New Year to add to John's mighty roster of heroic pugilists which now stands at well over one hundred portraits. We have encountered so many redoubtable characters and made so many new friends, and here you see the results of John's most recent encounters with these dignified gentlemen of the boxing fraternity.

Joe Somerville (111 fights between 1955 – 1969)
Harold Alderman MBE (LEBA Boxing Historian & Schoolboy Boxer)
Tom Ballinger (First fight 1952 – Last fight 1961)
