Andrew Newton Jnr: The Unseen Champion of Marylebone Road, London in the Roaring Twenties This photograph captures the essence of Andrew Newton Jnr, an unsung hero of the boxing world, during the 1920s. Born in London, Newton Jnr made history by becoming the World Champion blind ball puncher and boxer in the middleweight division. His remarkable achievements, however, have often been overshadowed by the more prominent figures of the sporting era. Newton Jnr's dedication and skill were evident in his powerful stance and focused expression in this photograph. Wearing traditional boxing shorts and boots, he poses with his gloves at the ready, exuding confidence and determination. The signed image, with the inscription "Andrew Newton Jnr, World Champion Middleweight Blind Ball Puncher and Boxer," adds an extra layer of authenticity to this snapshot of a bygone era. The 1920s, also known as the 'Roaring Twenties,' was a time of great social, cultural, and economic change. Boxing, as a popular spectator sport, thrived during this period, with numerous champions emerging from the UK and the US. Newton Jnr, with his unique blend of skill and determination, stood out among them. Despite his impressive accomplishments, Andrew Newton Jnr remains a relatively unknown figure in the annals of boxing history. This photograph, however, serves as a testament to his unwavering dedication and the indomitable spirit that propelled him to the pinnacle of his sport, even in the face of adversity. In this image, we see not only a champion boxer but also a young man who defied the odds and left an indelible mark on the world of blind ball punching and boxing. The photograph, taken on Marylebone Road in London, stands as a reminder of the rich history and diverse talent that has shaped the sporting landscape of the 20th century.
