Jack London had to navigate through the Great Depression and World War II before a British title shot came his way
Jack London reached a British title shot after 13 years and 121 fights, writes Alex Daley
READING of the recent death of Brian London, I was reminded of his father, Jack, and it struck me what a special achievement it was for father and son to hold the British heavyweight title just 13 years apart. Their career paths, though, could not have been more different. It took Brian three years to win the British crown in his 24th fight. After losing the title, he got a chance to regain it, two European title tilts and two shots at the world crown. For his father, there had been just one shot at British honours, and it had taken 13 years and 121 fights to attain it.
