    No!
    She said he was boxing from a younger age than that.
    Idea!
    Try to find any records of Mike Tyson fighting in amateur smokers in the south bronx early 80's...good luck!!

    Now apply this to Harry in 1911-1910.

    Ida said he starting boxing amateur at 15 as I just got an email confirmation from the gent who interviewed and befriended her back in 1979.

    james toney was only 17 when he entered a gym.
    and in 5 years was pound 4 pound numero uno. if you put in the work the work will pay you back.
