EDITORS COMMENTS
Len Harvey, British Boxer, 1938. This print captures the legendary Len Harvey in his prime. Hailing from Cornwall, England, Harvey's boxing journey began at a tender age of 12 as a flyweight fighter. Throughout his remarkable career, he conquered every weight division and etched his name in British boxing history. Renowned for his versatility and skill, Harvey secured multiple British titles at middleweight, light-heavyweight, and heavyweight categories. His exceptional talent even earned him the prestigious title of British Empire Champion in both light-heavyweight and heavyweight divisions. In 1936, he faced off against John Henry Lewis from the United States for the world heavyweight belt but narrowly missed out on victory by points. Retiring in 1942 with an impressive record of 111 wins, only 13 losses and 9 draws to his name; Len Harvey left an indelible mark on the sport he loved dearly. This monochrome portrait showcases him donning traditional boxing attire - shorts paired with a vest while sporting sturdy gloves that witnessed countless victories. Preserved as a Churchmans Cigarettes picture card from yesteryears' collection of sports personalities; this print serves as a testament to Len Harvey's enduring legacy as one of Britain's greatest boxers. A true embodiment of strength and determination during the thirties era within twentieth-century Britain.
