On May 1, 2003, at the Delaware County Fairgrounds, in Muncie, Indiana, there was a “History First” when father, Al Hughes, 54, and Daughter, Angela Hughes, 18, fought on the same amateur event! Both Al and Angela won their bouts…Angela who was making her debut stopped Lynicia Hinson of Anderson in the second round by KO, and Al, defeated 20-year-old Johnny Sparks of Indianapolis. In the first round Sparks knocked “Dad” down to the canvass, but then Al got the better of his opponent and KO’d him in the second round!
