    The athletic body before steroids?

    In December 1911, William Thomas Wells fought Fred Storbeck at Covent Garden for the British Empire Heavyweight Title, scoring a knockout in the eleventh round to gain his second title in one year.
  • Joe said:
    Fred Storbeck (1889-1970) was a South African heavyweight. Most of his career he fought in the U.K., in Australia, or in his native country. Here's his bout list page at boxer.com. The only American fight listed is his July 8, 1912 bout against Jim Stewart at Madison Square Garden (Storbeck lost.) My guess would be that this photo probably dates from that time.

    I believe this Frederick Parks the British Heavyweight boxer who fought in the 1908 Olympics. I came to this conclusion after considering the date and tags, but am not sure. The picture shows how much athletes have evolved, current heavyweight boxers are physically larger and muscular while, the boxers of old relied more on there technique. Very interesting.

    I notice that these Bain photos have been used to illustrate the Wikipedia article which contains some well cited information on Frederick Mostyn Parks. We'll add this information to the caption for this image the next time we update the record.

    The heavy weight boxer depicted in the photos is Frank Parks. He is my great grand father. We still have a number of his trophy cups and medals! [Gerald Parks].
