    The Solly, Rotunda and Kirkby probably have the best reputations.

    Joey Frost is before my time mate, dont know where he boxed.

    I havent heard of Maple Leaf so I presume not, but others may know more.

    I dont think Holy Name is going anymore, Long Lane is the only gym I know around them ways.

    I remember all those clubs and pretty sure Joey Frost boxed for the Rotunda. Black vests, gold hoop.

    Great puncher. He won his ABA title for Rotunda, as you say, but must have left them prior to going pro. I once saw Joey, Ray and George Gilbody on a Liverpool to London train, suited up, making the long journey to Moscow for the 1980 Olympics.
    Joey was a bit unlucky not to win a medal.
