Jimmy Revie
Jimmy Revie (born 8 July 1947) is a British former boxer, who held the British featherweight title between 1969 and 1971, and unsuccessfully challenged for the European title in 1971. Career Born in Stockwell, London, Revie made his professional debut with fifth round stoppage of Brian Gullefer in September 1966. In November 1967 he stopped Hugh Baxter in an eliminator for the British junior lightweight title, going on to challenge champion Jimmy Anderson in February 1968. Having won all his previous 13 fights inside the distance, Revie suffered his first defeat to Anderson, being stopped in the ninth round. Revie dropped down to featherweight, and won his next six fights, setting up a shot at the British title vacated by Howard Winstone against former British Empire champion John O'Brien. The fight, in March 1969, ended in Revie's favour when the referee stopped it at the end of the fifth round due to injuries to O'Brien's eyes. He was considered a contender for Johnny Famechon's world title, but never got the chance to fight for it. Revie had five non-title fights before his first defence. In October 1969 he beat European champion Tommaso Galli via a points decision, winning by half
