'The belt that Dave Sands won when he knocked out Dick Turpin in a British Empire title fight in 1949 never materialised, ant the legendary boxer never got the chance to hold it. Now, 73 years later, the great man's family has something tangible to to show, and the story of the world champion boxer can be told again.
