‘Cowboy’ Blair Wilson is a tent boxing legend. He gave away a promising professional boxing career to live the ramblin’ life of a tent boxer.
For twelve years Cowboy has fought in the tent (most of his adult life) and has never once been defeated.
A tent boxer doesn’t only have to be handy with the gloves, Cowboy explains what it is to be a great tent boxer.
interesting, the music works well
that sounds really great, I would love to watch a tent fight…
Nice blog you have!
Is it possible to purchase a copy of the video previewed ‘The Last Outback boxing troup – the Tent Boxer’? My indigenous partner and his father both boxed for Jimmy Sharman and i am trying to collect as much information on tent boxing to give him for his 60th birthday.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Hi Kerry
I don’t currently have the master tapes with me, so can’t make you a good quality copy.
As I did this story for the ABC, it might be best to contact Jo Upham of the ABC and see if they will do a copy.
best of luck
Mark
IS the Boxing troupe coming to Birsbane soon.
Cheers Adam
