I've heard a bit of Dick Turpin's history, but have on heard Randolph's name mentioned a couple of times: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/story-forgotten-warwickshire-boxer-who-20215793

My dad was a local boxer, I was brought up with such names.
Did you know Dick Turpin had a local connection?

I came across Dick Turpin & his history when it was being decided where to put a statue of him. It ended up in Warwick's Market Square.

Apparently, he used to hide out at The Cock Inn at Sibson, just off the A5 outside Nuneaton.

A pair of Randolph's boxing gloves are up for auction. A good bit of sporting history for someone: https://stratfordobserver.co.uk/news/boxing-champ-randolph-turpins-gloves-up-for-auction-47317/
