YORKSHIRE'S charismatic Henry Wharton is still the
super-middleweight champion of the Commonwealth
after seeing off the repeat challenge of tough Australian
Rod Carr.
There were times during this scheduled 12-round
bout in the Town Hall when the going was rough and
the title seemed to be in danger of slipping away. But,
once again, the 24-year-old battler came through with
flying colours to hang on to
it, with a stoppage win in the
eight.

AFTER scorn and derision was heaped on his first comeback fight
against John Emmen of Holland, Frank Bruno takes a marked step
up in class when he meets seasoned Cuban Jose Ribalta at
Wembley Arena on Wednesday.
Ribalta is nobody's fool. He took a young and buzzing Mike Tyson
into the 10th round in 1986 and has gone the distance (losing) with
Bonecrusher Smith, Tim Witherspoon, Pierre Coetzer and Marvis
Frazier.

BRITAIN'S recent form in European title competition
doesn't auger well for Birmingham's Wally Swift, who
aims to stop the rot in Hyeres, near Marseille, tomorrow
night (April 18) when he challenges Jean-Claude
Fontana for the light-middleweight crown.
But if ever there was a fighter intelligent and tough
enough to overcome the nerve-trembling atmosphere,
which in the Frenchman's hometown it's almost certain
to be, it is Swift.

IN THE plush surroundings of the Airport Ambassador Hotel's
lavish Lancaster Suite, Small Heath's Leon Wallis looked really
good in outpointing Michael Saliu (Colchester) on Norwich
Broadside's outstandingly successful dinner show.
Saliu tried hard and fought back when under attack, but it was
the aggressive Willis who held the aces. The Birmingham
light-welter dominated at close quarters as well as long range and
the extremely game Saliu was under heavy fire in the last round.
Former junior star Michael Herman pulled off a noteworthy
double for Small Heath when the towel came in from Terry
Stimson's corner early in round two.
