Frank Parks
Francis George Parks (March 1875 – May 22, 1945) was a British amateur heavyweight boxer.〔Sources tend to confuse and conflate the two brothers. There is a "Frederick Mostyn Parks" listed in Sports Reference as the Olympic medalist. There is "F. Parks" and "Frank Parks" listed in the New York Times for the exhibition matches in the US. The obituary by the Polytechnic Boxing Club is about "Frank Parks". Other sources use a pastiche of information on each in their records. On January 2, 2011, Elaine Penn, the University Archivist for the University of Westminster wrote: "I have just discovered that Fred and Frank Parks are brothers. I quote from the Poly Boxing Club report in the Polytechnic Magazine for December 1908 (page 173), regarding an Open Competition promoted by the City Police AC: 'Fred. Parks (Frank’s brother) was our other member who showed up most conspicuously, as he beat three men in the earlier bouts and succumbed in the final only through not having enough physical strength to meet a comparatively fresh man who had just had the benefit of a bye. We must say that we were delighted with the manner in which Fred boxed during the whole of the evening, and we feel certain that before long he will become a boxer with reputation very little short of that held by his brother Frank.' "〕 He joined the Polytechnic Boxing Club in 1892, and won the Studd Trophy in 1902.〔
==Biography==
He was born in March 1875 in London, England, to George Parks and Eliza Ann Barrington.〔George Parks and Eliza Ann Barrington in the 1881 England census〕〔Joanna Parks writes: "I believe he had 5 kids - Francis George Parks born in 1898 in Marylebone, London (husband's grandad) and Ivy, Olive, Rose and Maude but I have no dates on them. I haven't even been able to find his wife."〕 He had a brother, Frederick Parks, who would go on to win a bronze medal in the Olympics in 1908.〔 Around 1896 he married Ada Sarah Waller in London and they had the following children: Maud Lilian Parks (1897–1983), Francis George Parks (1898–?); Rose Gladys Parks (1900–?), Ivy Mary Parks (1904–?), and Olive Eva Parks (1907–1991).〔Francis George Parks (1875–1945) at Ancestry.com〕 He was the ABA Heavyweight Champion in 1899, 1901, 1902, 1905 and 1906.〔
In 1911 he and Reuben Charles Warnes went to the United States with the Amateur Boxing Association of England to fight in Madison Square Garden in a series of exhibition bouts. In one of the 1911 matches in the United States he lost to William Spengler in three rounds on a referee's decision.
He died on May 22, 1945, in Hampstead in a car crash.
