Leith Victoria boasts world champions such as flyweight Johnny Hill and super-featherweight, Alex Arthur. George Smith, who refereed Muhammad Ali v Henry Cooper in 1966, was a former flyweight with the outfit in the 1920s. The club was founded by Leith shipyard workers in 1919 along with Scotland’s first Lonsdale belt winner, flyweight Tancy Lee.
