Dear Friends, the bill below is from 1958, the JOE COATES PROMOTION, under the BWBC, I assume they mean Mount Evans (JP). Is that right? J. Beaumont is called a champ J. Foley is a former champ. Would love to hear everyone's opinion on this back and forth title change. Foley belonged to the RILEY's, and Beaumont was Charnock's right? Very interesting.
And how the above correlates with this passage on Tommy Mann from A-Z (Wrestlers): "His remarkable success started to reach a climax in 1952, when he beat the great Jack Dale to become the first holder of the Lord Mount Evans British middleweight title."
Now that we know that Jack Dale had his own middleweight champ in the 50s in the person of HARRY FIELDS.
And by the way T. Mann appears on the famous CHAMPIONS photo as the middleweight title holder.
Thank You.
Thank you, yes there was a photo of Jack with a certain belt. I was approached by his relative with the questions re titles and etc and I want to believe that I answered them to the best of my ability and my knowledge, and I also asked them to share info about that particular trophy whether they know which title/promotion that belt represented. As always I failed. As soon as I asked my question they stopped talking to me. Lol. One day I should learn a lesson and finally let go this bad habit of talking to "wrestler's relatives" lol.
