SID DYE, our excellent former
Liverpool correspondent and,
for many years, chief boxing
writer on the Liverpool Echo, died On
Monday. He was 68.
Reg Gutteridge informed me of the
sad news the following day. "He was
highly respected and covered Liverpool's
string of stars from juniors to
pro champions," said Reg, who
remained good friends with Sid.
"He retired after suffering a heart
attack five years ago.
"He wrote frequently for Boxing
News and the London Evening News.
I always said he was a real dyed-inthe-
wool boxing man. The Scouse
boxers practically worshipped him."

PAUL INGLE, who was beaten in 11 by
Naseem Hamed at Manchester and tore tendons
in his ankle in the process, is likely to be
rewarded for his brave performance with a summer
date against either Kevin Kelley or Junior Jones.
The latter, of course, flattened Richard Evatt in
11 on the same MEN Arena bill on April 10.
HBO, who televised Hamed's first appearance
of the year in America, were impressed with
Ingle's gritty display - he climbed off the canvas
three times - and the Scarborough buzzsaw may
well get a chance to appear on the undercard should
Hamed, who damaged his hand, be fit to make his
next appearance in America on July 17.

LLOYD HONEYGHAN had to cancel his
show at the Elephant and Castle Leisure
Centre tomorrow (Saturday, April 24)
principally because he could not put
together enough fights in time after his
proposed joint main events had fallen
through several weeks ago.
The former world welterweight champion
had intended to stage two British
title eliminators after winning the purse
bids for Neil Sinclair and Harry Dhami at
welterweight and heavies Harry Senior
and Mathew Ellis.

JOHNNY TAPIA'S life has been so
brutal that stepping into the ring is
something of a haven. And you can tell.
Because the WBA bantamweight
champion comes alive once the First bell
goes, strutting his stuff.
