JOHNNY OWEN, Britain's angular young bantamweight
champion from Merthyr, looks a rock-solid certainty to
become European champion after his impressive first
defence of his title against official contender WAYNE
EVANS.

BRITISH featherweight champion Alan Richardson
has the chance to win a Lonsdale Belt
outright on Thursday when he defends the 9st
title against former bantamwei ; champion
David Needham at the World Sporting Club.

FACED with the prospect of fighting perhaps the
greatest, and certainly the most lethal, lightweight
champion of all time most contenders

Charlie Nash awaits the future with an
apparent quiet confidence.

WORLD-CLASS Croydon
southpaw Frankie Lucas
goes abroad again — this
time to meet Philadelphia
middleweight Willie "The
Worm" Monroe in San
Remo, Italy, on April 22.

THANKS to a seeded draw, which, for the first time

light-welterweight category containing tough Dave
Williams, teenager Colin Derrick, experienced Welshman
Peter Ahmed and cagey Scot Alan Mann. Brookside's
Williams will start a clear favourite, but must take care.
