THE LATEST, and surely the final, attempt to revitalise the
sagging career of veteran heavyweight Joe Bugner got underway
in the improbable setting of a handball arena in the Danish
provincial town of Randers, where the former European and
British champion took an unconvincing 10-rounds decision over
Sweden's Anders Eklund.

I HAD been told before the
fight that Danish lightweight
prospect Geit Bo
Jacobsen "boxed like Hans
Henrik Palm and hit like
J o r g e n H a n s e n " , and
Jacobsen fully justified the
description as he demolished
French champion
Charles Jurietti in less than
a round.

THE first genuine title contender to see action in 1983
was welterweight Lloyd Hibbert of West Bromwich.
He'd already lost his unbeaten record to fellow Midlander
Cliff Gilpin, but had fought his way back
towards an eliminator against Lloyd Honeyghan.
Handicapped by a sixth round eye cut, Hibbert
laboured over the last few rounds of the 10-rounder
and lost a one point decision.

YOUNG ENGLAND flyweight Mark Smith made it a hattrick
of NABC titles when he lifted the Senior (Class C) 51
kilos crown before a star studded dinner crowd in the Great
Room of the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane. The
largest banqueting hall in Europe was the setting for the
inaugural sponsored finals by FIAT AUTO (UK) Ltd.
Southpaw Smith, from Bushey, Hertfordshire, also earned
the award for best stylist of the evening when forcing the
unfortunate Paul Fennelly of Ardwick Lads Club into runner-
up position for the second year in succession.
