Amazing images of Britain's best boxers from the 1920's

Amazing images of Britain's best boxers from the 1920's

From the 1920s up until World War 2 cigarette companies, sporting magazines and boys’ weeklies included real photo cards of sports stars to collect and swap. These photos of British boxers come from magazines like The Champion, The Magnet and Boy’s Friend and cigarette companies such as Senior Service and Ogdens.

Photo shows: Mike Honeyman: In 1923 Ernie Rice beat Mike Honeyman, who retired after 20 rounds. Honeyman is forgotten today though he was Featherweight Champion of Britain from 1920 to 1921 and had over 150 fights. He died in a Dagenham saniyorium in 1944, aged only 49.
