Biography

Robson initially boxed out of the Croydon ABC when he first represented Wales at international level [1] and boxed at featherweight. [2] He was the first Welshman from outside the Principality to box for Wales. [3]

In November 1952 he left Croydon for Horley ABC [4] and lived at 57 Albert Road in Horley. [5]

A cable joiner by trade, he stepped up to lightweight and was selected for the 1958 Welsh team [6] for the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff, Wales. He competed in the lightweight category, [7] where he was beaten by eventual silver medallist Jim Jordan of Northern Ireland. [8] [9]
