Description: SAED:SPORTS:BOXING:PERSONALITY:DRUM MARCH 1953 Jolting Joe, Middleweight Champ, tells Drum all about his travels overseas. Keeping Fit, in England or at home is a daily practice with Joliting Joe. He's so keen on boxing that he began gymnasium training two weeks after his return to South Africa. If all goes well, he will have his first fight in March against Simon Greb or Windy Mkize After leaving Johannesburg on a cold and windy night, you can imagine my surprise and joy when I alighted in London on a perfect summer day two mornings later! We went through Customs with people curiously staring at this solitary and rather puzzled black face amongst all the white ones, we boarded the express train for Doncaster, Yorkshire, where the Wood-cocks, and now I, were to live and the train!
