    this is what it said

    Former light middleweight champion "Gypsy" Johnny Frankham standing over Muhammed Ali (then Cassius Clay).'


    This image was supplied to us Jake Bowers; his great aunt Janie Frankham's son was Johnny Frankham. Jake believes the image showing former light middleweight champion "Gypsy" Johnny Frankham standing over Muhammed Ali (then Cassius Clay) having just floored him in an exhibition match.

    Thanks to Johnny's son who has confirmed that this did take place in an exhibition match. More details will follow!


    Contributions to this site like the above are most welcome. In time we may be able to feature more sporting stories; boxing in particular has strong connections with Gypsies and Travellers.

    This is a real picture, but Ali was on the floor on purpose, he didn't get knocked down

    Oh yeah, that old-school tactic of belly-flopping to the mat to gain a strategic edge. :?

    That's the way was back then, fans only had the media to keep them informed on fighters. And the media clearly wanted to hide this..........
