NEIL SIMPSON'S vacant European light-heavyweight title
fight with Ugandan-born Italian Yawe Davis in Italy has
been put back a month to April 6. It was done so to
accommodate TV, apparently, but Simpson's management
team of Johnny Griffin and Jess Harding had asked
for more time to prepare anyway.

LOWTHER was still in hospital as we went to Press on Wednesday, but as a precautionary measure
only. He felt unwell as he was travelling home with co-managers Tommy Gilmour and Keith
Walker, plus trainer Terry O'Neill, and they turned off at a hospital near Leytonstone. From there,
James was transferred to Queen's Hospital in London "just in case", said Gilmour.
Rumour spread fast Lowther was badly injured when he is not. He has NOT been operated on, just
undergone tests. Both Takaloo and Ojay Abrahams phoned this week to express concern.

COMMONWEALTH flyweight champion JASON BOOTH retained his title
easily when inept NOKUTHULA TSHABANGU folded inside two rounds.
Take nothing away from Booth. The 23-year-old champion removed an
inadequate opponent emphatically, without fuss and without dropping anywhere
near the African's level.
Tshabangu, who like Booth made the 8st limit at the second attempt, came
with some credentials. Although aged 35, he had boxed in the Seoul Olympics
in 1988. He had won a Commonwealth Games silver medal in Auckland in
1990 when Wayne McCullough outpointed him in the final.

THE Lawrence club of Lymington, Hampshire took a team of
seven boxers and two coaches to Gibraltar on January 27 to
face a combined local/ Spanish squad at Victoria Stadium.
They lost 4-1, but f o u r of t h e Lawrence boxers were m a k i n g t h e i r debuts, and
3-2 would have been a f a i r e r score. Good matching meant an e x c i t i n g evening
f o r the 1,000 spectators who were extremely vocal in t h e i r support f o r t h e locals.
Lawrence welter HENR1K GISHOLT closed the e v e n i n g with a tremendous
first-round knockout of Gibraltar ' s star man DAMIAN CERISOLA. Only 45
seconds had e l a p s e d . Gisholt was t h e o n l y Lawrence man t o h a v e boxed before,
and had a l so faced the part is an Gibraltar crowd last year.
