Les posing alone and with his sparring partner Chicago welterweight Freddie Gilmour (right), January 1917. ABOVE CENTRE: Les in fighting togs, December 1916; he was described in a New York paper as ‘the twenty-one year old Australian pugilistic wonder, whose arrival in New York has been the sensation of the season’.
Sparring with Jack Sims of Oregon, and with the punching bag (right), 26 February 1917.
Les Darcy with Jessie Willard, the man who had beaten Jack Johnson in 1915. Willard—at 6 foot 6 inches—stood a foot taller than Les, but despite the height difference there was little between the reach of each man.
