    Just caught this on Twitter -

    Jackie Bowers of the legendary Bowers fighting clan and trainer of John H Stracey, Maurice Hope and Johnny Waldron has passed away. Excellent amateur and fought professionally between 1946 and 1960, most notably losing on points to Howard Winstone in a contest Boxing News described as a "sparkling, all-action six-rounder".

    Two legends in one day.
