FRANK BRUNO'S decision to carry on boxing, apparently at the urging
of his daughters, is understandable. Like most people, I would
have been happier to see him take his well-earned pay cheque from
the Lennox Lewis fight and enjoy his retirement, especially as he
had scored a satisfying moral victory over his critics by the quality
of his challenge in the first six rounds.

AN ERA ended for Zambian boxing in Lusaka on August
28 as Lottie Mwale was stopped in eight rounds by
Mike Chilambe in a non-title bout. Lottie is the greatest
fighter produced so far by that country and for a
while looked as though he was going to be their first
world champion. At 40, Lottie's career must effectively
be over, but he was a classy fighter in his day. Chilambe
was beaten inside a round by Nigel Benn in 1989.
On the same show Behonest Mweshi reversed a previous
defeat and halted Mike Simwelu in nine rounds
to take the Zambian heavyweight crown.

I REGRET to report the death of former Liverpool
fighter Gordon Ashun. Jim Jenkinson of Merseyside
EBA told me: "He had been suffering from Motor
Neurone disease for nine months, and had been in
Southport Nursing Home. His wife died a couple of
years ago, and he had wasted down to around seven
stones. He was 72. During the war he was in the RAF,
and played some matches for Liverpool FC.
