## Resource

Scottish boxing legend Jimmy Gibson, dubbed “The TV idol of 1000s” and “The Golden Boy of Scottish Boxing,” passed away at 87 after a dazzling amateur career that took him from Glasgow to Ghana and Prague, where he battled Olympic and European champions. Praised by peers like Dick McTaggart and Ken Buchanan—whom he inspired to emulate his style—Gibson retired at 23, disillusioned by the professional ranks despite his talent. Had he stayed longer, what heights might he have reached? Beyond the ring, he built a life of purpose as an engineer, coach, and golfer, alongside his beloved wife Mima for 62 years.
