A one-Leeged Champion.

Here is curious challenge which
was recently published in England:

left leg has been amputated below
the knee, but 1 am, nevertheless,
ready to box any man in the world

legged men would be a novel sight,
and there is no doubt it would attract
a large crowd.

Vain is the call.
