EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1963, we see Mick Leahy, the British middleweight champion, engaging in an unexpected activity as part of his rigorous training schedule. Watched by Mr. Chas. Blakely, assistant manager of the Top Rank Bowl in Queen Victoria Street, Coventry, Leahy takes a break from boxing to try his hand at tenpin bowling. The image captures a unique moment where two worlds collide - that of professional boxing and recreational sports. As Leahy stands confidently before the bowling lane with a ball in hand, one can't help but wonder about the motivation behind this unconventional training method. Perhaps it is an attempt to enhance agility or improve focus through different physical challenges. The presence of Mr. Chas Blakely adds an intriguing layer to the photograph. As assistant manager of Top Rank Bowl, he appears both curious and supportive while observing Leahy's endeavor outside the ring. This snapshot not only offers a glimpse into Mick Leahy's dedication to his craft but also serves as a reminder that even champions need moments of leisure amidst their intense training routines. It immortalizes an era when athletes explored various avenues for honing their skills beyond traditional methods. As we delve into this nostalgic piece captured by Mirrorpix on June 25th, 1963, we are transported back to Coventry during the swinging sixties – a time when sportsmanship knew no boundaries and icons like Mick Leahy pushed themselves further than ever before in pursuit of greatness
