It is definitely Jimmy Slane from Abercorn Street North. He's my dad's uncle and he is 100% sure that it's him.

I dont really remember him as i was only young when he came to our house in new barnsley. Hes passed away now. But they errected a statue of john in falls road park.So im very proud of john.
My brother Frank bought two tickets to see John Caldwell fight Alfonse Halimi in the Ritz. Plush seats cost two pounds each. From memory I'm not sure who won.
He never boxed in the Ritz he boxed Halimi twice in london Wembley won the 2 fights http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/11575
