King Tut: Tut Whalley - The Fighting Flyweight Historical Film DVD
The documentary on Tut Whalley offers a captivating glimpse into the life and career of one of Stoke-on-Trent's most celebrated boxers. With a runtime of 55 minutes, viewers are taken on a nostalgic journey through the 1930s, where Tut reflects on his early years, motivations, and the challenges he faced in a sport vastly different from today.
From his upbringing and school days, Tut shares how he found his way into boxing, detailing the experiences that shaped him as a fighter. His account of regularly facing larger opponents at a mere 7 stone 6 pounds highlights not only his physical tenacity but also his strategic mindset in the ring. His signature left hook, described as his "secret weapon," showcases his skill and determination, earning him the respect and attention of fans.
The documentary features significant highlights from his career, including the memorable match against Tiny Bostock in May 1938 at the Port Vale ground in Hanley, underscoring the local pride in Tut's achievements. Insights from his wife Mary shed light on the rigorous training and sacrifices that accompanied his professional pursuits.
Boxing author Fred Deakin contributes an analytical perspective, drawing contrasts between the world of boxing in Tut's time and the modern era, enriching the narrative with thought-provoking commentary on the evolution of the sport.
Enhanced by original photographs, newspaper cuttings, posters, and archival film, this documentary serves as a tribute not only to Tut Whalley as a fighter but also to the rich sporting history of Stoke-on-Trent, celebrating the indomitable spirit of a true champion.
