Born in Spitalfields, London he won the National Sporting Club (NSC) (subsequently known as the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC)) British bantamweight title, British Empire bantamweight title, and European Boxing Union (EBU) bantamweight title. His professional fighting weight varied from 116 lb (53 kg; 8 st 4 lb), i.e. flyweight to 128 lb (58 kg; 9 st 2 lb), i.e. featherweight., though the majority of his important fights were fought as a bantam.
