Green and Nash for Euro-double

Brave Smith
is beaten twelve ... now Johnny looks to America

Tompkins floored, but it's close

Peacock upsets brave Booth

CHAMPS I'LL NEVER FORGET GIPSY DANIELS

BRITISH lightweight champion Charlie Nash bids to
gain the European crown in the same ring as he won the
British title when he takes on Frenchman Andre Holyk
at the Templemore Sports Complex, Derry, on Wednesday.

MERTHYR'S remarkable Johnny Owen,
still British and European bantamweight
champion following his 12th-round win
over Eltham's Dave Smith at the Club
Double Diamond, now looks forward to
America for the next stage in his build-up
towards world honours.

LEON SPINKS, out of the ring since losing the World Boxing Association
heavyweight title to Muhammad Ali last September, will be fighting for the
crown again before the end of the year if he defeats Gerrie Coetzee, of South
Africa, in their 12-rounder at Monte Carlo on Sunday (June 24)

THEY used to call Jim Braddock "The Cinderella Man",
but if anyone among today's fighters fits the Cinderella
tag it must be Jorgen Hansen — the 36-year-old former
pipe fitter and two-time European champion who next
Thursday (June 28) meets Dave Green for the European
welterweight title in Randers.
