This guy was constantly in the ring averaging around 11 to 12 fights a year. All but one of his 72 fights was in England. The one fight outside his homeland was in Belfast, Northern Ireland in his 4th to last career fight, against Garnett Denny, an 8 round decision loss.

In October 1947 he lost a 10 round decision to Al Marson in an eliminator for the British (South East Area) LHW Title. In October 1948 he defeated Jock Taylor in 10 rounds in another eliminator for the South East Area LHW Title, then that February, 1949 he stopped Al Marson in the 7th round to take that light heavyweight title. Ten months later in December 1949 he lost that title in a 12 round decision to Mark Hart.

Other victories in Spring's career included over Jimmy Carroll, Allan Cooke, Johnny Williams, Don Cockell, Tony Lord twice, Johnny Barton and Nick Fisher.
