January 1958 Extra Fighters

Gordon Corbett - England - LHW
Career Record: W15(KO 6) / L9(KO 5) / D1

Lost consecutive fights to Stan Cullis via 6 round decision in Dec 1958 and January 1959.From accounts of his fights in Boxing News through his career, Corbett showed having problems in many fights with eye cuts and injuries affecting outcomes of his fights.

In his last career fight, Corbett retired himself after the 6th round against Ted Buck having again suffering a cut eyebrow.Looked for but did not find some account of his decision possibly to retire after this due in part to the repeated cut eyes.

Gordon was a brother of Lightweight/Welterweight Ray Corbett.
