PERNKIJ. Will l AKKR S WBA welterweight title eliallenge
against (ihaiia's IKE QIIARTKY, .scheduled for Las Vegas on
April 25, is off indeHnitely after tlie American checked himself into
a drug rehabilitation clinic.
Whitaker, who flunked a drug test after his la.st fight, a points win
over Andrei Pestriaev in October, pleaded innocent and had the
ruling overturned on technical grounds, but his deci.sion to go into
rehab tells you his problem is serious. It was reported that he
recently failed another random drug te.st.
The April date may now be replaced by a light-heavyweight contest
between ROY .l()NES and VIRGIL HILL, but negotiations are still
taking place.

HEAVILY-TOUTED OMAR SHEIKA
(12st 2 l/2bs) received a
bewildering experience at the hands
of Birmingham veteran PAUL WESLEY
(11st lOIbs), who stunned the
American prospect in the second,
then subjected him to some outrageous
show-boating ttefore retiring
^ t h a damaged right hand at the
end of the fourth of an eight-rounder.
The Sheika hype-machine has
gone into overdrive in the last year,
but the American was bereft of
ideas against the tricky and experienced
Wesley, who made Omar
look quite ordinary.

LESTER JACOBS endured some
uncomfortable moments
before overwhelming Rochdale's
gangling Mike Whlttaker for a thirdrourid
stoppage in the six-threes
main event on this Bruce
Baker/Greg Steene-promoted dinner
show at the Royal National Hotel.
