John H Stracey is one of Britain's greatest World Boxing Champions of all time. He achieved the ultimate in December of 1975, when he became the undisputed Welterweight Champion of the World in Mexico City. He also famously boxed in Las Vegas on the Muhammad Ali bill. Before he reached the age of 18, John won no less than five National Championships. When he turned pro, he had an unbeaten run of 28 fights in three years, winning the British, European and World Welterweight Championships in a career spanning 17 years. He is also the only British boxer ever to be introduced into the WBC, Boxing Hall of Fame in October 2005. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of his achievement a play all about his amazing life is being performed at the beginning of May at the famous Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool .

John H Stracey is our guest in episode 472 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he’d like to preserve and one he’d like to bury and never have to think about again .
