Archie Newfong and other members of Roy Bell's boxing troupe

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  " Many of the Bell's fighters were Indigenous Australians, who Arnold Bell said were not only very good fighters, but were good showmen as well, knowing when to make their opponent look good, and when "to knock him over". Mr. Bell said that the boxing tents were the most popular event in the sideshows, in an era when boxing was a popular sport. "Most of the Australian champions in those days started with the boxing tents. That's where they learned how to fight." The Bell family traveled the country show circuit through Victoria to New South Wales and Queensland and into the Northern Territory, "following the sun". Arnold Bell was a fighter from 16 years old until his forties. Source: www.abc.net.au/news/2017-05-16/arnold-bell-and-his-life-a...
