When Billy Daniels allowed himself to be promoted in the USA as 'Gipsy' he aroused the disapproval of his father (a former Welsh rugby international) , who felt that the family reputation was being tarnished.
Daniel, who briefly held the British and Empire Light- heavyweight title in 1927, did not achieve the heights that the other boxers in this selection did, but his record does include one remarkable victory. In February 1928 he achieved a first round ko of Max Schmeling in Frankfurt.
