I found this picture of Des Cos in a group photo with him and some other UK fighters playing in a band in a talent competition in aid of the Boxing New Olympic Training Fund. This was in the August 23rd, 1968 Boxing News. I ran across in looking for information on Cox. Cox was playing a Sax.

By the way there may be a discrepancy in his BoxRec record. In researching through the Boxing New, the fight with Paul Cassidy may not be this Des Cox. The Boxing News accounts for that fight say Cassidy fought a PHil Cox from Exeter? Still looking through that. Anybody know anything about Des Cox I'd love to hear from you. Seems like way back when I did an earlier rating on him someone came forward mentioning they were a son or daughter of Cox?
