In this photograph from 1938, we see Johnny Sharpe, a prominent British boxing manager of the time. Known for his expertise in the sport, Sharpe guided numerous fighters throughout his career, including Archie Sexton. Although Sexton's bid for the British middleweight championship in 1933 was unsuccessful, it is clear that he found great support and guidance under Sharpe's management. This image captures Sharpe's determined expression as he gazes directly at the camera. His head and shoulders fill the frame, emphasizing his strong presence within the boxing world during this era.
