In the 1950s, Arcel ran independent television fights from various cities across the USA, upsetting the monopolistic International Boxing Club run by millionaire Jim Norris with the backroom assistance of mobster Frankie Carbo, a one-time gunman for Murder Inc. He came back in the 1970s to train Duran. He last worked the corner in 1982.
John Jarrett is a boxing historian who has had several titles published before including Dynamite Gloves and Gene Tunney: The Golden Guy Who Licked Jack Dempsey Twice. He is the Northern Area Secretary for the British Boxing Board of Control, living in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
