Removal of reference to heavyweight championship edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I've removed 4 references in the text to the 'heavyweight championship of England' and to Crawley having been 'heavyweight champion'. There was only one championship at this time, the English championship (no weight-related categories existed). I have also removed the reference to the website 'cyberboxingzone', which is the usual source of these kind of anachronistic claims, and replaced it with a more encyclopaedic reference, Henry Downes Miles' 3 volume work Pugilistica, which covers Crawley's career in some detail.

Sadly the article needs a lot of work and is currently just a list of his fights. Axad12 (talk) 04:32, 9 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
