    The Tale of "Two Ton" Tony Galento

He was lazy, overweight, reckless, and downright dirty.

    Sonny Liston: The Original “Baddest Man on the Planet”
    2024/08/15

    Feared inside the ring and out, Sonny Liston was the most intimidating heavyweight boxer to ever climb between the ropes.


    At his best, he crushed the greatest fighters in his division as he forged a path to the heavyweight title. But his was a life of crime, violence and mayhem. Even Mike Tyson once said, Sonny Liston made him look like a boy scout.


    Often reduced to a brute by the media or presented as a misunderstood object of pity, Liston was one of the most enigmatic of champions. Today we shed some light on this tragic figure.

  • Kid McCoy: Boxing Champ, Con Man, Killer, Hero

    Kid McCoy: Boxing Champ, Con Man, Killer, Hero
    2024/05/22
    A hobo, a heavyweight boxer, and a Hollywood star. A suspected jewellery thief, and a convicted killer. It sounds like a collection of characters from a Tarantino film, but it's all one man. Kid McCoy packed more into his life than seems possible. As a boxer, he was known for his dirty tricks as much as his superior skills, while outside the ring, his escapades often made front page news. Born with the mundane name of Norman Selby, the Indiana native carved out a persona and career that was anything but dull.
