INVERKEITHING'S EDDIE BURKE came back from a
six months lay off to halt Irish light-heavyweight
champion TONY MONAGHAN at the end of the fifth of
a scheduled eight threes main event on Peter Keenan's
dinner boxing show at Tiffany's Ballroom.

TONY CARROLL produced the higher work-rate to
outpoint fellow Liverpudlian BRIAN SNAGG in an
excellent eight-rounds main event on the bill put
together at Neptune's Palace by matchmaker Nat Basso
for promoter Alan Kay.

I HAVE just received a letter from the oldest living British ex-heavyweight
champion, namely Phil Scott. As I mentioned recently, Phil and his wife Mary
are now living in Australia. Much as they love their own country, it was
essential for Phil's health that they made the move. And it seems to have
worked.

JOHANNESBURG  Marc 10: Rising South African
heavyweight Jimmy Abbott (17-9) took just four rounds to
dispose of Britain's Terry Mintus in the Portugese Hall.
Abbott, for whom the experience of being booed in and
out of the ring has already become a tradition, clumsily
switched between southpaw and orthodox stances in the
first round.
