ENSLEY BINGHAM is one of
three British champions under
orders to defend his title. The
Mancunian light-middleweight must
face NICKY THURBIN, whom he
stopped in the final round for the
vacant crown a year ago.
At featherweight, JON JO IRWIN
must defend against Liverpool's
ALEX MOON, while the light-welter
tide fight between JASON ROWLAND
and JONATHAN THAXTON has
gone to purse bids. All must take
place before the end of February.

TONTCHO TONTCHEV (98t 7 3/41b8) of Bulgaria
closed the Chester show with an eight-round
lightweight points victory over spirited, defiant
Frenchman DIDlER SCHEAFFER (98t 7 l/41bs).
Scheaffer was furious with the 80-74 scorellne from
referee Keith Garner, and to be fair It did look closer.
However, Tontchev won well enough and fought
with more enterprise, snap and aggression than at
times earlier In his career. Scheaffer, short and strong,
kept barging forward and looking for left hooks to the
chin.

UBERIAN Ught-welter GEORGE SCOTT (9st
ISlbs) stopped Han well's game and unlucky
RUDl VALENTINO (lOst 21bs) in the last of a sixrounder
at light-welter on the Chester bill.
Valentino fought well and withstood some
sharp, classy blows from the southpaw who
fought out of Sweden as George Cramne as an
amateur and who won a silver medal at the 1988
Olympics.
