Boxing greats past and present united on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the golden anniversary of the Merseyside Former Boxers Association.
The organisation was formed at the Flat House pub in Tuebrook in April 1973 and is currently run by committee members Mick Molyneux (chairman), Terry Carson (secretary), Brian Wood, Tommy Nesbitt and Brian Snagg. All five gentlemen were present at the dinner, which was held at the Adelphi Hotel, along with former world champions John Conteh, John H. Stracey and Paul Hodkinson.
Natasha Jonas, who, as well as being a current unified world champion, became the first woman in history to win the British Boxing Board of Control's British Boxer of the Year Award last year, and James Metcalf, who claimed the IBO world super-welterweight title last month, also attended the event.
