    Dave Sands, had 5 brothers, Clem, Ritchie, George, Alf and Russell, that fought pro. Fritzie only had 4, Joe, Eddie, Pete and Jack.

    Dave Sands fought from 1941 until his death in a truck accident on 11th August 1952.

    Ritchie was their real name.

    hh ,you are right as usual...Interesting that the up and coming Dave Sands Kod Henry Brimm twice....Henry Brimm of course fought Ray Robinson to a 10 round draw in 1949...Dave Sands probably was the best Aussie fighter since the great Les Darcy...They both died prematurely...
    The curse of the middleweight division, methinks..b.b.
