Biography

Despite being one of the referees removed from 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games because they did not come up to international standard, Tom McCosh remained one of Scotland’s top boxing officials. The 1958 decision was forgotten six years later when he was selected to officiate at the Tokyo Olympics, where he refereed ten bouts and was a judge for the light-welterweight and middleweight finals. McCosh eventually made it to the Commonwealth Games in 1966 when he travelled with the Scottish delegation to Kingston, Jamaica.
