Boxing News

Template:Afc maybe

Boxing News is the longest-running boxing magazine still in publication, dating back to 1909. Owned by Newsquest Specialist Media, Boxing News is staunchly independent, relentlessly creative and is a boxing tradition.

History

Boxing News was founded in 1909 by original Editor John Murray as, simply, Boxing. Murray had been a regular contributor to Health & Strength magazine and convinced its owner, Bill Berry (later Lord Camrose) to launch a weekly magazine dedicated solely to boxing. It is believed Murray had been inspired by Jack Johnson beating Tommy Burns to become the first black World heavyweight champion. In his first editorial, Murray stated, “Boxing will stand for good clean sport. Its success of failure is in the hands of those who believe in sport of this character. Our energies will be devoted to giving the best paper that time, thought and money can devise.” When circulation began to decline in the depression days of the late 20s, the name of the magazine was changed to Boxing, Racing and Football. In October 1931, the paper was sold to a syndicate of London sportsmen, who installed Sydney Rushton, a long-time London fight reporter, as the new Editor. The layout changed, the page size was increased and Rushton proved less popular than Murray. The paper was again put up for sale and, while waiting for a buyer, the old features were reinstated and there was no official Editor. Another set of sportsmen bought the paper and Godfrey Williams was named Editor. He attempted to run Boxing as a newspaper, cutting popular features and reducing news stories down to the shortest possible length. The circulation quickly dropped to its lowest ever.

Billy Masters, a city printer and huge boxing fan, saved the paper, appointing W.H. Millier as the new Editor. He completely reinvigorated the magazine, helped in no small ,measure by its first colour cover.

In 1935, Millier departed and the owner replaced him with Sydney Ackland, who had previously worked as John Murray’s assistant Editor and had been taught by him. World War 2 brought many changes as first Sydney, then replacement Stanley Nelson, contributed to the war effort. Murray made a popular comeback as Editor but ill health forced him to step down in 1941. Gilbert Odd took over until the building housing the paper was destroyed by the enemy. Odd was then called up for national service and both Masters and Murray served further terms. Now with the new name of Boxing News, the paper was bought by Australian publicist Vivian Brodzky and former promoter Sydney Hulls. Northern sports writer Bert Callis was the new Editor. Odd took over for a second term upon Callis’ retirement. Odd implemented the tradition of reporting the results and fighter’s weights for every single fight in the country. When Odd quit to write books, he was succeeded by Jack Wilson and then Tim Riley. When Brodzky died, Boxing News was sold twice in quick succession, and Graham Houston became Editor in 1971, immediately broadening the range of coverage, especially in North America. Houston left in 1977 to work on morning newspapers in Canada. This prompted the appointment of perhaps BN’s greatest Editor of recent years, Harry Mullan. Circulation increased exponentially during the Mullan years, which doubled as a time of great change in the boxing world. Most notable new developments were the proliferation of ‘world’ titles and the increase in the number of major British promoters. Mullan was fiercely principled and tremendously well-respected in the boxing fraternity. When Mullan left in October 1996, he was given this glowing tribute from then BN Publisher Peter Kravitz: “His writing stands comparison with the Lieblings, Hausers and Mailers of this century of boxing.”

Assistant Editor Claude Abrams officially succeeded Mullan in November 1996 and remains Editor to this day. The following week, Boxing News was redesigned and switched to a full-colour format and become more extensive in content. In March 1999 the paper went to A3 size before reverting to A4, and increasing in size to 48 pages (from 24) in September 2005.The magazine has continued to evolve under Claude’s strong leadership and remains incredibly popular. Though perhaps less boisterous than his predecessor, Abrams is every bit as forthright, honest and knowledgeable. Under his guidance, BN will continue to go from strength to strength.

Ian Mortimer (historian)

Ian Mortimer is a British historian and historical biographer, currently affiliated to the University of Exeter. He is notable for two areas of historical research. The first, for which he was awarded the Alexander Prize (2004) by the Royal Historical Society, is a demonstration of how society became medicalised over the course of the seventeenth century. The second is a retelling of late medieval English history in an integrated sequence of biographies, which are researched to a very high level and yet which are accessible to the general public. In this sequence he champions the sympathetic approach to biography, which deliberately eschews pure objectivity as a limited perspective, and looks at the subject in order 'to understand why he did what he did', rather than to judge him. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1998.

One by-product of employing the 'sympathetic approach' to historical biography is to raise the bar in respect of certain historical doubts. Most prominent among these are the supposed death of Edward II in Berkeley Castle, the origin of the accusations of sodomy levelled against Edward II, the succession to the crown of the house of Lancaster in 1399, the alleged rape of the countess of Salisbury by Edward III, the date of birth of Henry IV and the establishment of the royal Maundy custom, and the murder of Richard II in 1400. In these subjects he has pioneered a new methodology which establishes the likely information networks underpinning the creation of evidence which has traditionally been take at face value, or rejected as unproven.

Marios Schwab

Marios Schwab is a fashion designer based in London.

Born to a Greek Mother and Austrian father in Athens, Greece, Marios Schwab studied fashion from an early age - aged 15, he moved to Salzburg to study at a fashion college that taught traditional Austrian hand-sewing techniques. Schwab was the first and only boy at the college, where he remained for four years.

He came to London to study on the MA course at Central Saint Martins, where he graduated in 2003.

He designed the Spring 2004 womenswear collection for his friend KIm Jones, and for Winter 2005 he launched a collection under his own label, showing under the Fashion East sponsorship scheme launched by Lulu Kennedy. Schwab's Spring 2006 show garnered heavy press coverage and international acclaim. This collection is seen to have established his signature of body-conscious tailoring and use of metallic inserts and corsetry and underwear detailing, which many trace back to his father's occupation as an engineer in a brassiere factory, as well as his memories of clubbing in '90's Athens. Along with Christopher Kane, he is often credited as a proponent of a nineties revival prevailent on the London club scene.

From Spring 2007, Schwab showed under his own label independetly of Fashion East, aided by sponsorship from Swarovski, and the Topshop new generation Scheme.

His Spring 2008 collection, titled 'Vigor-Mortis.' marked a move away from his previous clinging body-conscious signature. Schwab cited 'a consciousness of the body, inside and out' as the inspiration for a collection featuring prints taken from internal membranes, dresses evocative of anatomical shapes and features, and heat-reactive garments which tchanged colour in reaction to body heat beneath.

Marios Schwab was awarded Best New Designer 2006 by the British Fashion Council. His clothes have been worn by Kate Moss, Roisin Murphy, Cate Blanchett and Kylie Minogue amongst others.

Clyde Ferguson Annual Lecture at Howard Law School is named after him,[4] as is the Clyde Ferguson award presented by the Association of American Law Schools.[5]

He wrote books including Materials on Trial Presentations and Racism in American Education, and contributed to U.S. Ratification of the Human Rights Treaties.[1]
