Marsh heads for a fourth Wembley show

AFTER 43 fights and a couple of false starts, 22-year-old Tony Sibson is at
last a world title candidate of definite potential.
He gave a spectacular display of punching to rip the European
middleweight title from unbeaten holder Matteo Salvemini with a seventhround
knockout, and now as dual Commonwealth and European champion
he could be within a year of a world title bid.
Salvemini, who had held his title for only three months since beating
Sibson's friend and ex-stablemate Kevin Finnegan, was never in the fight.
Sibson took him apart with economical but venomous punching which had
the Italian holding on and spoiling from the first round.

VETERAN Neville Meade stuck gamely to his task in the
war of the heavyweight hitters and stopped Stan McDermott
in the fifth of their scheduled 10-rounds British
heavyweight title eliminator.
Meade had to climb off the floor in the fourth to win a
round later and must have been in pain and arm-weary. But
he found the big right hands to turn the fight round dramatically.

CHARLIE NASH'S long haul back towards world title
contention gains momentum on Sunday when he meets
fellow-southpaw Francisco Leon for the latter's European
lightweight crown.
The contest, which takes place at Dublin's plush Burlington
Hotel, is a chance for Nash, from Derry, to recover
some lost ground.

TOMMY MARSH of Weymouth was this year's proud winner of the Boxing
News silver ring trophy for best stylist when he cleverly outpointed tough
TOMMY BURTON of Bournemouth in a fine contest.
The 13-bout show, presented by Bournemouth ABC, is an annual affair in aid of the
Newsvendors' Benevolent Institution and the National Union of Journalists' Widows and
Orphans fund.
