As I had to reduce some seven or eight pounds off my normal body- weight in order to enable me to compete in the 9-stone class, I had to go into very strenuous training, and with the help of Phosforing, I not only won the championship of that class, but also the Individual Championship, and, in addition 1 broke, a British Record.
