BOXERS, so it's widely argued, do their talking in the ring, but certain
articulate, colourful, and occasionally controversial figures have always
been the exception.
Sylvester Mittee is a frank engaging character whose forthright views
have not always found popularity with elements of the boxing establishment.
Now Commonwealth welterweight champion, and on the verge of a
British title fight, Mittee's career illustrates the pitfalls that can beset a
boxer's career.

NO matter how you slice it, Larry Holmes has not been a
cheesc champion. From Ken Norton in June 1978 to upstart
Carl Williams in 1985, Holmes' reign has been long and fairly
distinguished. And, despite some early and ill-advised
attempts to carry on like Muhammad Ali, his comportment
outside the ring has been praiseworthy.

WHENEVER boxers from the South Seas have appeared here they have produced some
fireworks. Kitione Lave and Leweni Waqa are two who immediately come to mind.
The area now seems to have produced another good fighter in Aisea "Cyclone" Nama
from Fiji. The rugby-loving cruiserweight has lost only seven of his 52 bouts and holds
wins over John Layton, Alex Sua and Maile Haumono. He can also claim to be the
world's most active cruiserweight with 25 fights in a 12 month spell in 1983.
Nama's management are looking to move him into a shot at the Commonwealth title
against Chisanda Mutti.

IN NOVEMBER 1948 Gloucester lightweight Hal Bagwell
was carrying all before him. He had been unbeaten
for over ten years, and although nearly 28 was looking as
good as ever. At Leeds he was tackling Liverpool's Morry
Jones, who had been a pro for less than two years, and
who would not be favoured to stop the Bagwell run of
success.
