Boxer (band)

Boxer were a rock band formed by keyboardist Mike Patto and guitarist Ollie Halsall in 1975.

The band was managed by Nigel Thomas who secured a five-album deal over five years with CBS, reputed to have been worth £1.2million[2] and was never fully executed due to Patto's death on 4 March 1979. During a six-year period Boxer also toured the US and Europe.
