    Really??? I thought the odds of anyone saving a copy from that far back, and being a visitor to this forum, would be as rare as a Joe Calzaghe Knockout. I guess you learn something new everyday.

    Yes I have it. How much are you prepared to offer me bearing in mind it would lead to a gap in my collection?

    Front cover is Frank Bruno getting stopped by Tim Witherspoon in Bruno's first world title fight

    my mates grandad was bob fielding,the former welsh flyweight champion and held the great benny lynch to a draw and fought jackie brown another world champion. apparently their was a write up on bob all about his career etc. in that edition of the boxing news,it doesnt matter if its a photocopy as that will do rather than someone breking up their collection,can anyone look if hes in their,thanx mate.
