ROY SHAW & LENNY MCLEAN
BRITISH BOXING EXPLOSION |
When Frank Warren formed the National Boxing Council in the 1970s, it allowed the toughest underground fighters in Britain to legally go head to head.
For the first time, the aggression and passion of the underground boxing world was now being channelled through a licensed outlet. The results were explosive.
Irish and gypsy boxing champions met the hardest brawlers from the London gangland scenes for the first time. The fights were legendary and form an amazing part of British boxing history.
These fights were mostly recorded on cine film, and the footage was lost for many years. The recordings have only been recently rediscovered, and as the owner of the original reels and the rights to sell this material in the UK, we are offering something very special on eBay.
2 unique DVDs, direct from the original footage, showing UK fighting legends battle it out for supremacy.
This 100% unstoppable boxing action is the best possible quality at the best price on eBay.
The fights focus on the hardest and most feared fighters of them all, Lenny McLean and Roy Shaw:
