HATTON PROMOTIONS' next two
shows both look like crackers,
starting with one on January 15 at
AHrincham Leisure Centre. The
headliner is a rematch of the
cruiserweight thriller last February
that saw British champion ROB
NORTON make his first defence
and add the vacant Commonwealth
belt with a points win over DAVID
DOUN.
Also on the bill, another highlyanticipated
return sees CELLO
RENDA and PAUL SAMUELS once
again go to war, this time over 10
rounds in a British middleweight
eliminator. MARK THOMPSON and
former British champion KEVIN
MclNTYRE also meet in a domestic
eliminator at welter, while MARTIN
GETHIN faces GRAEME "DEZZIE"
HIGGINSON for the vacant English
lightweight title.
The Hattons go on again at
Aston Arena in Birmingham on
February 19 as MAHHEW
MACKUN defends his European
middleweight belt against tough
Russian DIMITRY PIROG, and, in a
Celtic title fight, Welshman GARY
BUCKLAND defends the lightweight
title against Pr/zef/gAter champion
RYAN BRAWLEY.

MARC SMITH, the Swansea
journeyman who retired nine-and-ahalf
years ago, popped up at a
show in Spain last weekend.
Unwersity graduate Smith, now
35, who invested the purses from
his 52 British contests in property,
Iceeps himself in trim at Spanish
gyms and answered an emergency
call to meet local hero EMIUANO
CASAL at Sedavi, near Valencia.
"It was supposed to be an eightrounder,
but then he came in at
lOst 6lbs to my 9st 7 l/2lbs and
promptly began gulping down fluids
and refusing to get any weight off,"
says Marc.
"Then he refused to fight at ail.
In the end we agreed a fourrounder
for the same money - then,
five minutes before the fight, they
offered me more to make it sbt."
Smith was cut in a clash of
heads, and the doctor halted the
affair at the end of the fourth.
"I had three cuts in all," he
says, "but when I went to see the
doctor I found he'd gone home!"
GARETH JONES

FORMER pro light-welter and now a
promoter, manager and trainer,
Bristol Boys boss CHRIS SANIGAR
has b^n diagnosed with bowel
cancer. Brave Sanigar was told in
September and is currently
undergoing a course of
chemotherapy and radiotherapy
that will end in two weeks' time.
Sanigar, buoyed by watching his
man Lee Haskins beat Don
Broadhurst to become a double
champion last weekisee pages
28-30), is remaining positive.
"I haven't had a drink for 20
years," he said. "So I've beaten
alcohol. Now I've got to beat
cancer." We wish Chris all the best.
