About this website: This website went on line 25th Jan 2002 as Young Victor (then a personal site) it quickly developed into a full blown boxing site. "Young Victor Boxing" first registered - 8th Dec 2004 as a Boxing website following into a Boxing News & Media site.

This website allows anything to be copied as Young Victor is of the opinion that Boxing benefits from other boxing enthusiasts using what they need which in turn helps boxing remain the gallant sport it has always been, the only condition is that anything copied is used sensibly and not offensive to anyone. PLEASE NOTE: Photos that belong to other professional photographers are marked as such and must not be copied. In Boxing Young Victor usually uses old time "fighters lingo" phrases and remarks with seemingly little care for spelling. Lynette a major contributor by staying fast behind the editor of the site.
