    My dad was a huge Briscoe fan in the early '70s, he asked me, since I'm a boxing nut as well, if there's something on the Internet boxing websites about him, how is he doing?, is he financially OK?.....whatever....you never see him at Hall of Fame inductions, signing autographs and stuff....he virtually disappeared...anybody knows?

    He still lives in Philadelphia and refuses to give interviews and other things related to boxing, supposedly.
