KOSTYA TSZYU has reached the stage
in his career when he no longer
needs titles. The world No. 1 lightwelter
can take a leaf out of Marco
Antonio Barrera's book and relinquish,
save himself money in sanction fees, and
retain his status as the best in the division.
But for as long as he reigns, he should
abide by the niles of the goveming bodies.
Tszyu, though, doesn't want to fight WBC
No. 1 Gianluca Branco of Italy or Britain's
Ricky Hatton

GAMBLES sometimes pay off.
ROY RUTHERFORD was prepared
to take the risk of challenging
British featherweight champion
JAMIE McKEEVER at Everton
Park Sports Centre at 16 days' notice -
and is now basking in the glow of winning
a Lonsdale Belt at the age of 29.

ABINGDON Town A B C S John John Joyce
Memorial dinner show drew a packed
house of over 250 to the Oxfordshire
town's Guildhall on April 25.
John Joyce was the long-time club official
who died last year.
Guest of honour was recently-crowned WBU
middleweight champion Wayne Elcock of
Birmingham.
Elcock (pictured) presented trophies on
behalf on his absent manager Frank Maloney,
who is Abingdon's president.
On a night when boxers came from as far
afield as Wales, the host club enjoyed five
winners out of seven.
Boxer of the night was Southampton lightweight
Matthew Tew. Selected by Elcock for
his technique, he was awarded a bronze figure
of a boxer.
