THAT world title shot is close enough to
touch now for Britain's triple champ Lennox
Lewis (right). He's been matched by the WBC with
the dangerous Canadian Razor Ruddock in a final
eliminator, after second-ranked Riddick Bowe
declined the chance.
 Both sides have accepted the nomination, and
competiton to stage such an attractive pairing is
bound to be intense. The Las Vegas casinos will
certainly want it, but the fight would be a huge draw in
London in early Autumn, perhaps at a major indoor
venue like Earl's Court. Watch this space

 

ILFORD'S Nigel Benn finds himself back at the drawing
board after coming perilously close to defeat against
South Africa's Thulane "Sugar Boy" Malinga at the
National Indoor Arena.
If there was a lesson to be learned from Benn's
controversial 10-round points win it was to highlight
the gamble involved in stalling potential money-making
domestic clashes.

 

BIG HEARTED Newcastle featherweight John Davison
takes another gamble in the chase for a world title shot
when he challenges European champion Fabrice Benichou
in Amneville, north eastern France tonight.
The 12-rounder presents the French with yet another
opportunity to extend the terrible run of defeats
suffered by British boxers abroad in European title
fights. Wally Swift's points setback against Jean-Claude
Fontana in April took the tally to 14.

 

ST JOSEPHS lightweight Tony Rossiter pulled off
a good win when he outscored the host club's
London featherweight runner-up Marcus
McCrea in a special 3x3 contest on the Fitzroy
Lodge gym show.
