Hubert Toms (28 December 1894 – 4 March 1953), better known as Joe Symonds, Young Joe Symonds, or Young Symonds, was a British professional boxer who competed from 1910 to 1924. He held the IBU world, and National Sporting Club’s British flyweight titles in 1915, as well as the EBU flyweight title in 1914.Born in Plymouth in 1894, Joe Symonds made his professional debut in October 1910 with a points win over Nipper Riley. By November 1912 he had built up a record of 20 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses against inexperienced opponents. In December he beat his first opponent with any real professional experience when Young Joseph's Nipper (who had 38 wins to his name) retired in the ninth round. He went on to beat Bill Kyne but lost via disqualification in March 1913 to future World champion Percy Jones, who beat him again in June that year and again in September.Between October 1913 and April 1914 Symonds was unbeaten, including a drawn fight against former World champion Bill Ladbury. In May 1914 he faced Jones again, taking his European flyweight title after Jones retired in the eighteenth round. In November he faced Jimmy Wilde in an eliminator for the British flyweight title, losing on points.He beat Ladbury twice in 1915, and in October faced Tancy Lee at the National Sporting Club for the British and IBU World flyweight titles; He stopped Lee in the eighteenth round to take both titles. He defended them both against Wilde in February 1916; Symonds retired in the twelfth round.
