THE fairy tale continues for newly crowned British
heavyweight champion Neville Meade.
Less than a month after his sensational victory over Gordon

AUCKLAND - October 19: Critics may well claim the
September showdown for the undisputed world welter
tide between Sugar Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns
was the Fight Of The Year but to thousands of Aucklanders

Johnstone, Australia's top ranked contender, produced a

seldom seen from world class exponents.

Leicester feather-cum-hght weight Chris Elliott. He
perfected a style that made him difficult to hit, but he was
never unattractive to watch, and he averaged a fight a month
throughout his career.
