Sonny Liston, World Heavyweight Champion, visits Newcastle upon Tyne

Sonny Liston, World Heavyweight Champion, visits Newcastle upon Tyne.
Sonny Liston rides nine year old meat delivery horse named Prince, who is taking him from his hotel in Newcastle upon Tyne to a hall where he is to fight an exhibition bout.
The horse is owned by Allie Moore of Warkworth, Northumberland.
Why is Liston going by horse? This is how boxing promoter Joe Shepherd explained it " He thinks it will be safer than going in an open car, because fight fans almost overturned his car in one town..."
16th September 1963
