David Cliff was never a ABA champion... Devisional at best. I was often on the same bill.... Indeed I ko his younger brother, R. Fields in my second Fight. But he waqs a tough god amateur heavywieght. Was down to fight J. Cullen a couple of times but it never happened.

Wells and Boddington were the ABA champion at his era. H e fought a geat fight topping our show once. Around them times... Then of course Joe Bugner was London finalist losing to Billy Wells in the final ON his 17th birthdayin 1968. So he may have been beaten by him.

In the Mid sixties Champs were 1963 - Cpl. Robert D. Sanders (Royal Navy BA)

1964 - Colin Woodhouse (Wandsworth ABC) 1965 - William Wells (Wandsworth ABC)

1966 - Anthony Brogan (Barnstaple ABC) 1967 - Peter Boddington (Rootes ABC)

1968 - William Wells (Lynn ABC)  I believe you will find. Cliff was in that era.

[Roland]

Yes Dave I did find it interesting. May well be a little of what you said to me ealier in that about Cliff.

[Roland]

Yes, and though he was from Dunstable, I think you'll find he boxed out of Margate... under one of the ABA  comitteeman.

[Roland]

Ah found this, I believe many will find it interesting.

By the way B. Harper, who also won the commonwealth games in 1954 i believe, was better known as Brian London.
