TRANSCRIPT
Mini Bio
Ted Kid Lewis was, in my view, the finest pound for pound boxer this country has produced. He started
out as a flyweight, aged 14, boxing at the old Judaean Club near Cable Street, St George's, and boxed the
world over against the very best men at virtually every weight. He also promoted regularly at Premierland
in Whitechapel and was a household name throught Great Britain.
He won the British featherweight title aged 17 and departed almost immediately to Australia, from where he
journeyed to the United States, where he really made his name.
