Charles Shepherd (boxer)
English boxer
Charles "The Bull" Shepherd (also known as Charlie) is the former British, Commonwealth and World Super featherweightboxing champion.[1]
Born in Burnley, Lancashire on 28 June 1970, Shepherd began boxing at the age of twelve, becoming a British ABA champion aged 15.
Early career
[edit]Shepherd moved to Carlisle when he was sixteen and made a winning professional debut in 1991 against Chris Aston, and soon moved himself into a championship position by winning a series of bouts in his opponents backyard including against amateur star George Naylor in Liverpool, Southern Area Lightweight Champion Cham Joof in London, Midlands Area Lightweight Champion Karl Taylor and future WBO Light- Welterweight world title challenger Nigel Wenton.
However 1994 proved to be a bad year for Shepherd first losing to the Commonwealth Champion Justin Juuko, and then dropping a hometown decision to Tony Foster for the Central Area title.

The firm moved to Simla in 1864, at which point Samuel Bourne joined the business to work as principal photographer.
