THE world title dream lives on for grandfather George Foreman, who turns 45 today, with new WBC champion Lennox
Lewis (inset) in his sights. The veteran ex-champ clubbed South African Pierre Coetzer to defeat in eight rounds (above),

Hall (lOst) went almost unnoticed in outpointing Hull southpaw
Tony Foster (lOst lib) over six rounds in the main event at the Marriott

Lennox Lewis his WBC belt.
Disappointed with his showing, the 23-year-old Hall found Foster

better punches and picked up a 59)4 - 58Yi verdict from referee Roy
Francis.

But on the basis that anyone criticised here has the right of reply, I am happy to

and executive director Frank Hendry is not only a
