Abstract

[Sheffield’s revival as a boxing centre can be put down to two men, neither of whom were natives of the city; in fact the pair were first- and second-generation immigrants. Irishman Brendan Ingle came to Sheffield to work and box in the early 1960s. Asked by a vicar to help keep the local youngsters under control, the task became his life’s work, and the number of kids he put on the ‘straight and narrow’ is inestimable. At the same time Ingle was frustrated by the methods of boxing training prevalent at the time, so developed his own novel approach. Here serendipity stepped in with the late 1970s arrival at his gym of Nottingham-born Herol Graham, whose own unique abilities were the embodiment of what became known as the ‘Ingle style’.]
