    For example the Jack Johnson one in Houston or the Walcott one in Camden. Warragul's statue of Lionel Rose is a matter of pilgrimage for an Aussie I reckon. Just drop which ones you've seen. I've seen a few local hero boxers graves from guy's I've seen in the papers being tribute but that's it. I believe one of them was a sparring partner of Dave Sands?

    There's quite a lot of bareknuckle champion boxers graves , memorials , plaques and places significantly connected to boxers and boxing in the U.K that can be found but in answer to your question no.
