Don "The Bull" Adams was a bare-knuckle boxer, from Waltham Cross, London. In addition he was known as King of the Gypsies. At least one of his fights was detected by the authorities. Hertfordshire Constabulary reported a planned fight at Holborn Stud Farm on Sunday, 26 October 1975, between Don “The Bull” Adams and Roy “Pretty Boy” Shaw, promoted by Adams’ trainer Tom “The Bear” Brown. This fight was banned, but must have taken place later, as Shaw was reported later to have beaten Adams.
