READERS never cease to amaze me by what lengths
- and distances - they will travel to get Boxing News
on Friday mornings.
Recently, because of distribution difficulties, the
ordeal has become more painstaking.
Some journey dozens of miles to their newsagents
with such obsessive eagerness that any hiccup on
our part often results in a phone call of either
complete desperation or intense irritation.
But only the fanatically faithful, and those who
depend on the information we supply, understand
the special significance of Friday mornings.
That's when the oldest boxing publication in the
world has to be available.
Some of you may think I have numbed to complaints
because recent problems have persisted, but
before I joined BN in 1987,1 remember Fridays as a
day of great anticipation.

PANAMANIAN great EUSEBIO
PEDROZA (46), WBA featherweight
champion from 1978 to 1985, now owns a
pig-raising business and works as a
manager for government agency General
Services, whose job is to help the poor. "I
love this work," says Pedroza. "Having
been poor myself, being able to supply
electricity and running water to people
fills me with joy."

BRIAN HUGHES has been training fighters at the Collyhurst and Moston
Boys' Club in Manchester for 40 years. The astute tactician has guided
Pat Barrett to British and European titles at light-welterweight and Robin
Reid to the WBC super-middleweight crown.
He has high hopes, too, for light-middle Anthony Farnell and British superfeatherweight
champion Michael Gomez to name but two more.
When he's not in the gym working living up to his 'repetition pays' trademark,
Hughes also writes books about the greats of yesteryear - despite the fact he left
school barely able to string a sentence together on paper.
Not surprisingly, he had plenty to say when RUTH MASON finally got him to
sit still last month.
