AT ONE time it was called the British Commonwealth
and then it became simply the Commonwealth.
In boxing terms it could almost return to its
old status as British fighters hold ten of the 13 titles.
Australian fighters tend to split their efforts
between the OPBF and the Commonwealth, Canadians
and West Indians between the NABF, WBC Continental
and minor world titles, and the Africans cannot
afford to compete so their best fighters finish up
in the United States or Europe and lose interest in
the Commonwealth title.

of the world.

MATE PARLOV, the former Yugoslav amateur
star who went on to win the WBC light-heavyweight
title, has been out of boxing since 1984,
when he coached his country's Olympic squad
to a record haul of a gold, a silver and two
bronze medals. Today, he's a quiet businessman
living in his native Pula in Istria, a Croatian
peninsula totally unaffected by the civil war
which is raging in the former Yugoslavia.

THE CLASH between reigning European and eight
times German champion Sven Ottke and ABA finalist
Paul Rogers provided the main bout of the opening
show as the Western Counties took on their
hosts from PSV Hanover at the Misburg Sporthalle in

credentials of his opponent whose recent conquests
included England's Anthony Todd and an
Olympic gold medallist.
