Jock Taylor 1940s light-heavyweight interview...

[Alex D]

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon chatting with Jock Taylor (Sidcup) about his boxing career. Jock was a one of Britain's leading light-heavyweights of the 1940s and beat, among a host of others, Don Cockell, who went on to fight Rocky Marciano for the world heavyweight title.

Part one of a three-part interview with Jock is here (parts two and three coming soon):

Jock talks about his fights with British and European light-heavyweight champion Don Cockell (who would challenge Rocky Marciano for the world heavyweight title), Jack Beech, Ginger Sadd, Al Marson, Albert Finch (British middleweight champion), Johnny Williams (British heavyweight champion) and boxing at Harringay Arena:
