Collection Archivist

Gathered over more than 60 years by me, David Roake, this archive houses a collection of over 5000 historic photographs of top boxers from the gloved era between ca 1885 and ca 1985. It covers British, Commonwealth, European, and World fighters. I hope you enjoy the collection. Please feel free to visit the contact page and get in touch as I am always keen to meet and share with other enthusiasts.
