This article is about Johnny Owen, one of a string of fine boxers to emerge from the South Wales Valleys. His story is a fascinating one with an unfortunate ending as he was killed in the ring at the age of just 24 while challenging for the world title. I'm a football editor primarily, so this represents a departure from the norm for me, but I think formatting is consistent with other boxing articles and the content quality is there. I look forward to any comments. Kosack (talk) 12:39, 6 September 2020 (UTC)
