CHARLIE MAGRI extended his reign as European
flyweight champion to three-and-a-half years when he
took just Ave minutes and 37 seconds to dispose of the
challenge of Spaniard Enrique Cal in the gritty industrial
town of Aviles in Northern Spain.

HARTLEPOOL'S John Feeney, desperately needing a win
after three straight losses, produced the skill and experience
to edge home over gallant Ghanian Kid Sumali after a
splendid eight-rounder at the A-ASC.
The crowd were solidly behind the underdog, and the
booing when referee Bob Galloway raised Feeney's hand was
predictable, but not justified.

NEWPORT'S Steve 'Sammy' Sims captured the British
featherweight title at a packed St Andrew's Sporting Club in Glasgow's
Albany Hotel as the brave but ultimately futile challenge of
local boxer Terry McKeown ended suddenly in the 12 th of the
scheduled 15-round championship match.
McKeown, from Barrhead, was clearly ahead going into the 12th
(by three rounds on my card) and by slightly lesser margins according
to various ringside colleagues but his big early lead was being whittled
away after the eighth round, which was perhaps the crucial session in
the fight

JUAN LAPORTE became the world champion at the
third attempt when he hammered Mario Miranda of
Colombia into defeat on a corner retirement after 10
rounds at Madison Square Garden to win the WBC
featherweight tide vacated on the death in a car crash
last month of Salvador Sanchez.
Now LaPorte, a Puerto Rican born New Yorker,
must defend against Ruben Castillo of California
within 75 days by order of the WBC.

MICHAEL SPINKS was given a frustrating fight by
cagey, spoiling Johnny Davis before stopping him in
the ninth round to retain his WBA light-heavyweight
tide at a packed Sand Casino Hotel.
Spinks scored his 22nd win in a row, 16 inside-thedistance,
and fifth successive stoppage in defence of
the tide, but it was not one of his better fights.
He dominated, but was made to miss and frequently
found himself tied up by Davis. Spinks
showed his annoyance, at times shouldering Davis
away from him.

JOE BUGNER is all set to make a return to the British boxing scene, says
promoter Frank Warren.
At 32 years old - and coming off a second round stoppage defeat by old
Earnie Shavers - Joe still feels he has enough left to beat the best that Britain
has to offer, and Warren shares his confidence.
Bugner will be featured on the Bloomsbury show in October as the former
European champion prepares to resume the career that once promised so
