'Fighter' is back, up and about, after injury 2016-06-03 - Coburg, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. It looks as though Charles Shirley is wearing a elbow length oven mitt ready to be a cook or baker, but, in fact, it's a colorful forearm splint. "You know I'm a boxer," he said, "and in my last bout I led too hard with my left, and hit 'em so bad I broke my arm. But you should have seen him after that punch." Norman Janes of Ebenezer Road in Taylor County would vouch that he also heard it, too. Of course there's another story, but the fun one, told in Charles' own unique style of humor, is the more entertaining one. If you see him, no need to sympathize with him, he's healing fast and will be as dangerous as ever before you know it. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
