Lord Lister No. 0333: De liefde van een bokser by Matull, Blankensee, and Hageman

"Lord Lister No. 0333: De liefde van een bokser" by Matull, Blankensee, and Hageman is a pulp adventure novella written in the early 20th century. The tale follows the Gentleman-Thief Lord Lister (alias Raffles) and his aide Charly as they discover and secretly mentor a prodigiously talented young boxer, Joe Mascott, while an unscrupulous banker, Pinkerton, emerges as both Joe’s employer and rival for the love of Daisy Chairman. Expect a mix of ringside drama, mentorship, and scheming in postwar London’s sporting and social underworld. The opening of the story finds Raffles and Charly ducking a downpour into Black Jimmy Stanley’s gym, where they witness Joe Mascott’s exceptional skill and Raffles steers him to elite trainer Fred Simons. Raffles quietly arranges to pay for Joe’s lessons; Simons confirms Joe’s brilliance and sets sights on a forthcoming match with a 500‑pound purse. Joe then confides his precarious home life, his devotion to Daisy, and the coercion Pinkerton exerts through her father’s debts. When Pinkerton pressures Daisy and tries to force a kiss, Joe steps in and slaps him, prompting Pinkerton to vow revenge and seek out George Malony at Black Jimmy’s to hatch a dirty scheme.
