whom
Manchester boxing as a lineage: trainers on the left, the fighters they made to the right, and the moment a fighter becomes a trainer marked where it happens. Read left to right for time, top to bottom for gyms. Every box is a page.

What counts as a link
A trainer→fighter line means the trainer worked the corner for a run of fights, not a single session. Amateur club coaching counts and is marked.
What's missing
Plenty. The tree grows as people tell us who taught them. If you boxed in Greater Manchester, add yourself and name your trainer.
Juniors
Under-18s appear only as an unnamed "juniors" box in their club's lane. They join the tree by name when they turn eighteen, if they want to.
