British Sports | Wreslting White No known disability No known religious affiliation Sibling of Arthur Beaumont (wrestler) and Cliff Belshaw Unknown Alongside his brothers Arthur and Cliff, Beaumont began his career in an acrobatic group, which led to an interest in amateur wrestling. All three brothers were also undertakers, following in the footsteps of their father who was a Funeral Director in Wigan. One of the top light heavyweights in the country, Beaumont trained at Charnock’s gymnasium in Wigan. As early as 1948 he was reckoned to be the only serious contender for Jack Dale’s middleweight title. In his first visit south, in 1948, Beaumont held Dale to a draw. Even in those early post war days Jack Beaumont received international recognition and in 1948 travelled extensively throughout Europe. /www.wrestlingheritage.co.uk (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 RAHdroberts 10/31/2013 RAHAKIRKBRIDE 6/3/2025 3ff8d99c-e4f4-4b7d-b437-7a285d328391
