    Big Joan Fury fought in Maine Road, Manchester and he claims he was the A Side - hold on the fight happened because the people filming would not give him a part on Jimmy Grimble.

    Harringey and Liverpool Stadium were indoor arenas but Freddie was a huge draw.

    Certainly was a real crowd pleaser,willing to trade,shipped and gave out plenty of punishment,short clip and iconic ko of Len Harvey putting him through the ropes.

    This was a real passing of the torch in British Boxing at the time. Harvey was a real schoolboy hero and huge star. Freddie took his place with this win.
    Nice bit of trivia for you, the Harvey's trainer nearest the camera is one of the Gutteridge Twins, either Dad or Uncle of Reg.
