Tragic news from the world of boxing, the passing of British great Dave Charnley, one of the finest form these shores to never win a world title. excellent tribute here from the guardian, would take huge issue with his claim that aside from Herol Graham he is the best brit to never win a world title as obviously Peerless Jim cannot be overlooked but a truly great fighter who will be sorely missed. RIP

This is sad.

Another link to the golden age severed. To this day, I've never seen the second title fight against Brown although, like many of us, I have read reams about it.

Fine fighter and clearly a very nice guy to boot.

Cannot find the footage of Charnley v Brown.

Britain's very own Harry Greb.

Sad news. Anyone who can give a genuinely great Lightweight champion such as 'Old Bones' all they can handle three times over has clearly reached the kind of heights most could only dream of.

Rest in Peace.
