THERE was an upset on the second show at the Festival
Hall as former two-time ABA champion Adrian Elliott of
West Ham suffered his first pro defeat after two wins when
being stopped in five rounds by sparring partner Hughroy
Currie of Catford in the eight-round main event.

WE ARE unable to bring you full reports from this week's
shows at the Arden Sporting Club, Birmingham (October
10) and the Albert Hall (October 11) because promoter
Mike Barrett continues to refuse us press facilities.
The Jimmy Batten v Prince Rodney light-middleweight
title fight thus becomes the first British championship in
our 75 years of publication, and the Board of Control's 54
years of existence, to take place without a Boxing News
representative at ringside.

DAVE CHARNLEY, one of Britain's greatest lightweights, in the finest hour of a brilliant
career, ended u p a loser. This was on an April night in 1961, when Dave staged a magnificent
bid for the world lightweight crown only to lose a disputed decision to Joe Brown, one
of t h e most highly-skilled 9st 91bs boxers of the past 25 years.
It was another of those splendid battles between a super fighter and a classical boxer.
Charnley, a fighting southpaw, also had skill; and Brown, so talented, could also bang and
fight when necessary.

BRITAIN'S TONY SIBSON blasted his way back into
the world middleweight limelight by smashing previously
undefeated JOHN COLLINS into defeat in the second
round of their scheduled 10-rounder at the Playboy casino
hotel.
Sibson had been inactive since losing in six rounds to
Marvin Hagler last February, and some doubted his desire.
But Sibson, 25, showed all his old power and determination
to destroy the big build-up of Irish-American
Collins.
