Who was Jimmy Sharman?

James Sharman senior and junior were father and son Australian boxing troupe impresarios.

Born in Narellan, New South Wales Jimmy Sharman Sr had established a boxing tent in 1911 at Ardlethan near Temora. The tent visited 45 to 50 shows each year. His son, Jimmy Sharman Jr, took over the business in 1955. The tent formed part of the Australian Show landscape until 1971, when regulations barred boxers fighting more than once a week. Sharman then turned to dodgem cars in partnership with Reg Grundy.
