I have always been intrigued with boxing trivia . This actually began back when I was a kid in 1961. I would pick the minds of the older generation and ask questions about their era to educate myself . It’s now my pleasure to bring boxing trivia format to my website www.dmboxing.com for everyone to enjoy. On a quarterly basis I post five (5) multiple choice questions – in March, June, September, and December – with the correct answers to follow by end of each posting month for viewing .
