Cabbie ride for Boxing Enthusiasts

Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford’s first face-off was intense, you won’t want to miss the super fight itself on Sept 13th in Las Vegas, live on Netflix 👀

The concerns about Terence Crawford moving up 2 weight classes might be overblown 👀💪

I was deeply saddened to hear the news of the recent passing of Mike “The Body Snatcher” McCallum in Las Vegas. Our boxing fraternity has lost another good man and great champion.

Mike became the first ever world champion from Jamaica when he beat Sean Mannion for the WBA Junior Welterweight Championship.

He also represents exactly what we are trying to achieve with the Boxing Camps in Jamaica.

Rest in power King! 🙏🏾❤️🕊️You will be missed.

🥊Born on this day…Edward Henry Greb AKA Harry Greb ‘the Pittsburgh windmill’ born 6/6/1894 in Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania and died 22/10/1926 at age 32 after an operation to remove broken bone from a car accident in which Harry was involved...
“
Harry Greb, middleweight boxing champion. was seriously injured early this evening when his automobile overturned a few miles from this city. He was brought to the West Penn Hospital, where physicians said he suffered two fractured ribs and cuts and bruises on his back and chest.”
New York Times Aug. 21, 1925.

After suffering with serious headaches Harry underwent an operation from which he would die leaving the boxing world stunned as it lost one of its most competitive and active fighters of all time.
Middleweight, Greb was known to throw over a hundred punches per round,he would start bouts extremely fast and much to the unpleasant delight of an opponent Harry would only increase his work rate and punch output as the rounds went by. At the time some described him as amateurish in style although highly respected throughout the boxing world, he would fight any man of any color,at any size and anywhere.
He finally held the world middleweight championship after being avoided like the plague and was also the first man to hand Gene Tunney,Jack Dempseys conquerer his first and only pro loss. He would offer championship opportunities to men of color in a time when the color line was frequently drew leaving black men frozen out of fighting for its biggest honours.
He fought 300 pro bouts or there abouts where Greb has a record of 9-5-1 (0 KOs) against former, current, and future world champions: he held wins against George Chip, Gene Tunney, Tommy Loughran x2,Johnny Wilson x3,Jimmy Slattery and Mickey Walker.
Regarded as a genuine P4P great who held the middleweight championship from 31st August 1923 – February 26th 1926.
He was succeeded by Tiger Flowers.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of James Cook MBE, aged 66.

A former British and European super-middleweight champion, upon his retirement, Cook would play a pivotal role as a mentor to countless young people across London.

He will be sorely missed. RIP 🌹

🥊 ‘The Manasa Mauler’ Jack Dempsey hits the heavy bag.

A notoriously ferocious puncher who could break bones with those hands of his when he struck men wether in the face or body.
The bag itself displays his name which you can see written under the Everlast logo.
Whether in a prizefighting ring or simply just publicly training Dempsey would always draw in a huge crowd such was the popularity of the man labelled as the king of the roaring twenties….

Go get your jab and than order your cab!!

Who were the first south paw heavy weight champion?
