Albert Finch

Albert Finch (16 May 1926 – 23 January 2003) was a British boxer from Croydon in South London, who was active from 1945 to 1958.

In October 1948 he beat Mark Hart for the Southern Area middleweight title, winning on points over 12 rounds.

In June 1949, he challenged Dick Turpin, elder brother of Randolph, for his British and Commonwealth middleweight titles.

Finch held the British title for only six months before losing it to Dick Turpin's brother, Randolph in October 1950.

Finch began to find it difficult to make the middleweight weight limit and so moved up to fight as a light-heavyweight.

The fight at Harringay Arena ended with Barton winning by a technical knockout in the eighth round.
