Hi,
This is probably a long shot, my Dad when he was very young in his teens boxed a few bouts in the Sunderland area.
This would be the late twenties early thirties.
Years ago, I saw an old boxing poster from a bill at the old Sunderland Stadium and in the bottom right hand corner I saw his name fighting an opponent in one of the preliminaries.
He went by the name of Young Crosby. I've looked for a record of his fights on Boxrec but there's so far nothing recorded although I do know he was fighting under age.
I can't remember who was the main bout but I suspect it was the famous Sunderland middleweight "Cast Iron" Jack Casey fighting a German boxer, but I may be wrong.
I was wondering if any of the old boxing poster collectors out there had seen any posters with his name on, like I say an extreme long shot but I know this poster existed and you never know someone out there may just have one.
If they did I would be willing to pay for any scan and copy taken from it.
Any help from anyone out there would be greatly appreciated.
