NEXT FRIDAY viewers will see some of the bouts in the
finals of the ABA Championships, always a great event.
Last week the semi-finals were featured by Sportsnight,
about the same length of coverage as given to the
quarter-finals, which wasn't much. I invited readers to
comment on the general coverage of amateur boxing by
the BBC, and I have received this letter from Seley Little
of Gardone, The Avenue, Wivenhoe, Colchester, Essex

 

WHO SAID Henry Cooper had retired? I understand the BBC
have plans to get him a " contest" with Dr. Edith Summerskill
on the Jimmy Savile radio programme Speak Easy.
Dr. Edith is well known for her anti-boxing views, and I
remember when HCenry was last questioned on this subject
by a BBC TV interviewer he won inside the distance. He
has always been a staunch supporter of the sport to which
he has given so much.
If Henry can be persuaded to take part in this programme
it will be pre-recorded, and listeners will hear It on Sunday,
May 9 at 3 pm, I believe this an audience-participation
programme, so it should prove well worth listening to.

 

WANDSWORTH heavyweight Graham Sines is to turn professional and
club trainer Danny Peacock is going with him. " We will fulfill our outstanding
amateur commitments first," said Peacock.
