There is now a 1963 Tony Charles match on You Tube. Despite describing him as English the French commentator also claims he was a former boxer. Never heard this before. Was it the case?
Marty Jones reveals in an online blog that Tony Charles was one of his first non TV opponents
I have my doubts as he was an amateur wrestler at a young age , wrestling in the empire games.
So certainly not a converted pro boxer like Alf Robinson , or Clark Mellor.
