"Little Arthur" but he had a big boxing journey.
King would be a regular at Toronto's
Maple Leaf Gardens, but would also appear
in many to face some top qulity lightweights
and even other weight classes. And how
many remember his lightweight title bout
with Canada's ARMAND SAVOIE.
Like most boxers Little Arthur fought
as an amateur in places like the Massy Hall
and turned pro in 1946 on a boxing card
promoted by FRANK TUNNEY thus beginning
a long journey in professional boxing with bouts
against the likes of Paddy DeMarco and many more in the Fifties.
ARTHUR KING is a worthy member of the old
CANADIAN BOXING HALL OF FAME
