Stanley 'Kitten' Hayward was a world class Philadelphia welterweight who beat future Hall of Famers Curtis Cokes and Emile Griffith and he also battled city rivals Bennie Briscoe, Cyclone Hart, Gypsy Joe Harris and Bennie Briscoe.

He turned pro all the way back in 1959 and after a 47-fight career he had a successful career working in the Philadelphia law courts, where we first met some 15 years ago.

'Kitten' is now 80 but he has some stories to tell, remembering some of the rivals he faced, the fighters he sparred and the old gangsters he knew.

This episode also features Tris in a Twitter Q and A after the interview.
