EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to June 5th, 1978, where the legendary ex-British heavyweight boxer Richard Dunn takes center stage. A former farm labourer turned boxing sensation, Dunn once fearlessly stepped into the ring with none other than Ali himself for the world title. However, life took an unexpected turn for this remarkable athlete as he later found himself working as a humble barman at The Opera House in Scarborough, Yorkshire. Captured in this momentous image is Dunn's humorous encounter with a parrot showcasing its passing out trick. As he holds his pint of beer and shares a laugh with the colorful bird perched on his shoulder, one can't help but admire the resilience and lightheartedness that radiates from him. This photograph by Dennis Hutchinson not only immortalizes a significant figure in British boxing history but also encapsulates the essence of camaraderie and joy amidst life's twists and turns. It serves as a reminder that even those who have faced great challenges can find solace in simple pleasures and maintain their sense of humor. With every glance at this nostalgic snapshot, we are reminded of Richard Dunn's extraordinary journey - from laboring on farms to facing off against one of boxing's greatest icons - all while embracing moments of laughter along the way.
