Ralph Evans (boxer)

5x expanded by Kosack (talk). Self-nominated at 21:31, 23 December 2019 (UTC).

The article was expanded more than five-fold (not counting the list) and nominated within hours of the start of the works, the hook checks out.
A QPQ is still needed.
By the way, the article would profit from indicating the year or Evans' age when he started his boxing career. Cause now the article says: "When his father later [..,]. Ralph began to take an interest in the sport. In his first year as an amateur, [...]. The following year ,[...]". But how old was he exactly? The source (the book) cannot be previewed online (here it is on Google Books), so I wonder... (I can guess from what follows that he wasn't 18 yet.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 01:48, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, unfortunately the book doesn't provide any ages until 1972. I've managed to find years of his ABA defeat to Abrams which provides more detail there. I've reworded to lessen the reliance on a time frame also. I'll get round to my QPQ as soon as possible. Cheers. Kosack (talk) 08:52, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

@Moscow Connection: Added in my QPQ for this now as well. Kosack (talk) 20:06, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

A QPQ was done. Good to go now. --Moscow Connection (talk) 20:12, 26 December 2019 (UTC)
