Sportsperson; Boxer, trainer, matchmaker A boxing man to his bootstraps, Ernie Fossey served the professional game as fighter, trainer, second, manager and promoter for well over half a century. But it was in the notoriously difficult role of matchmaker that this former coalman from North London truly excelled. Fossey, the right-hand man of Frank Warren, Britain’s leading promoter, had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the sport and, for more than 40 years, matched hundreds of fighters while moulding countless careers. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/ernie-fossey-6xkrshqqjv0 (2019) International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families - ISAAR(CPF) 2nd edition - ICA 2004 ISBN 2-9521932-2-3 National Council on Archives, Rules for the Construction of Personal, Place and Corporate Names, 1997 Yes RAHAKirkbride 9/30/2019 Rachael.Fragola 3/1/2022 40a124c3-9390-443f-b32a-8a45a242e147
