Boxing Trivia (What only Hardcore fans know)

Razzer Rudduck became the first millionaire boxer without ever fighting for the heavyweight title when he fought Tyson.

Are you sure, Master? What about Billy Walker back in the 1960's? I might be wrong, but I thought he was the first guy to earn a million without ever fighting for the world title?

I think that million was more like 100k, how time exaggerates. One of Billy Walkers famous quotes was a response to the question, who is your favourite boxer? which was - Kirk Douglas - because he made 100k dollars for the film 'champion'.

Billy was(is) a great bloke who lived in my village for a few years, sold his house to Ernie Wise, happy days.
