EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Eric Boon, a legendary British boxer from 1938. Born in Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, Boon was widely known as Boy Boon or the Fen Tiger due to his fierce fighting style. His remarkable career saw him triumph in an impressive 92 out of 119 fights, establishing himself as the British lightweight champion for six consecutive years. In addition to his numerous victories, Boon made history in 1939 when he participated in the first-ever boxing match televised in Britain. This groundbreaking event marked a significant milestone for both sports and television industries alike. Dressed impeccably in traditional boxing attire, this portrait showcases Boon's determination and strength. Clad in shorts with gloves tightly secured on his hands, he exudes confidence that only comes from years of rigorous training and dedication to his craft. Preserved through time on a Churchmans Cigarettes picture card, this print serves as a testament to not only Boon's exceptional talent but also his status as a prominent sports personality during the early twentieth century. As we admire this snapshot into history, let us remember Eric Boon's legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated boxers who left an indelible mark on the world of sports.
