' Boxing Today'
LIONEL SECCOMBE
When he was at Oxford, Lionel Seccombe was an outstanding boxing Blue. He is now connected with the promotion side of boxing, but for several years he has also distinguished himself as a BBC sports eye-witness and commentator.
This evening he will discuss a sad and puzzling feature of British boxing-our apparent inability to produce a world's heavy-weight champion. He will also disclose the various methods employed in the preparation of boxers for the professional ring. In one capacity or another Seccombe has been fortunate enough to see most of the big fights that have taken place in recent years, and it is his intention to illustrate his talk by referring to them when necessary.
