PHILADELPHIA, July 16:
Undefeated middleweight
slugger Curtis Parker
buzz-sawed his way to a
unanimous 10-rounds decision
over local rival
Willie "The Worm" Monroe
in a fast-paced and
bruising rumble at the
Spectrum,

IT is not a simple matter to decide categorically just who was the first
heavyweight champion of England under Marquess of Queensberry
Rules. No doubt some boxing enthusiasts will make the claim on behalf
of Charlie Mitchell, from Birmingham, who fought for the world title,
both with and without gloves.

JOE BUGNER doesn't change. He passed through London last week en route
to South Africa to make a film. Joe, scaling close to 18 stone, informed
listeners at London Airport that he was serious about another come-back and
that a new Muhammad Ali organization have guaranteed him £1.5 million if
he can prove successful in four fights.

TONY GALENTO died of a
heart attack the other day at
Livingston in his home state of
New Jersey and brought back
to mind that amazing character
whose name became a
household word in America
during the late 1930's and who
reached world fame with a
pre-fight prophecy that will be
associated with him for all
time.

CONGRATULATIONS are due to Benny Caplan and the
many LEBA members who helped in the sponsored
Greyhound Meeting at Walthamstow. Up to the time of
writing the accounting had not been finalised, but it
should net LEBA in the region of £2,000.

FIVE boxers from Stamford ABC, Blackfriars — Dave
Skelly, Tony Sutton, Dick Bishop, Sean Sutton, Dave
Witham and Jimmy Dugdale — ran all the Thames
bridges from Vauxhall to Tower Bridge and back again
last week.
The charity run, sponsored mainly by the Carlsberg
Lager Club, the Lord Clyde, Vauxhall; the Rising Sun,
Vauxhall Street; and Mr McDonald, of Carlsberg Lager,
raised £500 to buy a mechanical chair for an invalid woman.
