Hello,

I was curious if there is any sort of checklist for Richard K Fox Boxing cabinet photos? I recently picked up 2 Fox cabinets out of an old photo album (1 of Paddy McBride in boxing pose and 1 of a Harry Walton in suit pose), and was hoping to find out more about these Fox cabinets.

thanks
Keith

Do you have the Police Gazette ones or just the Fox studio mounts?

There really isn't a checklist; Fox shot a heck of a lot of images, including some that are images of images. Like this one:

They are Fox Studio images. I am not sure if Harry Walton is a boxer, boxing promoter/manager, or maybe not connected to boxing at all.

Here are the images

I don't think Walton was a boxer.

Looks like there was a boxer named Harry Walton who fought Lon Agnew on Sept. 10th 1894. Not sure if its the same boxer. Lon Agnew was a lightweight, my guess is Harry Walton was as well.

I also found a Harry "Young" Walton who fought Tommy Spider Kelly for the Bantamweight Championship of the world in 1889.
