Joby came from a boxing family, with brother Jim also involved in both boxing and wrestling.The Rhondda Valley has always enjoyed a strong love of boxing, producing Jimmy Wilde, Tommy Farr, Vernon Ball and Jimmy Driscoll.
Records for pre-war (1939-45) boxing are difficult to track down. Some websites are specialising in tracking down as many of these records as possible. On one site about Pre-War Boxing run by Miles Templeton, I managed to find the following information about both Joby and Jim Culverhouse.

Jim Culverhouse (Treherbert) total 44 bouts
Joby Culverhouse (Treherbert) total 33 bouts
