Anthony George Charles (born 27 June 1900 in Castries, Saint Lucia;[1] died 20 April 1957) was a boxer, commonly known as Dixie Brown.

In the West Country of England, he survived by working as a bare-knuckle boxer in fairground booths.

He moved with his wife, Lily Sellick, to Bristol in 1923, and registered as a professional boxer, fighting 85 bouts in the 1920s and 1930s, as welterweight and middleweight.

[5] Brown started family life in the "tough neighbourhood" of Philadelphia Street, St Jude's.

[1] Bristol historian Madge Dresser described him as "a family man who founded a virtual dynasty of Bristolians of mixed heritage, all of whom remember him with fondness.
