A CATFIGHT broke out at the
funeral of Hector Camacho
between a 28-year-old woman
claiming to be Camacho's girlfriend,
and the fighter's sister. Cynthia
Castillo appeared at the funeral
in a bright pink T-shirt and kissed
Camacho in his coffin, much to the
annoyance of the family.
"I am Macho's current girlfriend,"
said Castillo after being encouraged
to leave. "They attacked me, but
should be grateful because I was
there with him."
The rest of the funeral passed
without'incldent, as the charismatic
fighter was laid to rest in his native
Puerto Rico.

RYAN CLARK visited the Boxing
News offices in the summer of
2011, without a win in two years
and almost 40 contests, declaring
he was going to turn his career
around and become a champion.
At the time, despite his obvious
determination, it seemed a
ridiculous notion.
Fifteen months later, the
23-year-old has secured a shot at
the vacant Midlands Area supermiddleweight
title against Martin
Conception on February 23 after
three consecutive inside-thedistance
wins.
"I don't regret any of the losses
because without them I wouldn't
be the fighter that I am today,"
Clark, 5-53-4 (3), says. "People say
'Why didn't you start like this?' Well,
I'm glad I didn't because I would
have been s***. I needed to learn."
Clark, who began a 12-week
camp with proud trainer Carl
Greaves this week, insists he will
not take another fight at short
notice, nor accept a four-round
assignment as the 'opponent'.
"I spent some time with James
Tucker in his dressing room
recently and it's a cold and lonely
place," Clark says. The bout with
Concepcion will take place in
Lincoln at a venue to be confirmed.

last round.

the Bootle lad, Kelly received the
Best Boxer trophy, though McCallum
had pushed him all the way.

Joe love also took part in a skills
