My Own Guy
Here's a guy I made up based on a light heavyweight who fought in the Maritimes back in the 20s. Backstory: born in 1900 in Sydney, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. Ran away to sea at 15. Joined Canadian merchant navy and worked escort duty between Halifax and England until war's end. Took up boxing while in London, continued after the war, before returning home to Canada. Fought in Halifax, Montreal and Toronto as Sailor Burke. Ususally fought between 170 and 185. Fair defence, but relied more on toughness and terrific body punching, never shied away from rough stuff. Always in top shape ready to fight.
