BRITISH flyweight champion Pat Clinton clinched a
Lonsdale Belt to keep when he stopped a bitterly
disappointed David Afan-Jones in six rounds at a packed
Ocean Room on the sea front in this little Norfolk holiday
resort.

THE British lightweight title aspirations of Walsall's P e t e r Till were
ruined by a s i c k e n i n g last round knockout against Nottingham s o u t h p aw
Tony R i c h a r d s b e f o r e a small crowd at t h e Cocks Moors Woods Leisure
Centre.
Till ran out of e n e r g y -alarmingly from midway through the seventh
when Richards began c o n n e c t i n g with hurtful hooks to the head with
e i t h e r hand.

GLENN McCRORY completed one of British boxings
fairy stories when he outpointed Patrick Lumumba of
Kenya for the vacant International Boxing Federation
cruiserweight title on June 3.
Yet a few years earlier, the 6ft 4in Durham lad was on
the dole, hopelessly out of sorts with boxing after four
consecutive defeats, and forced to sell his house to
make ends meet.

POWERFUL southpaw Michael
Moorer blasted out his 18th successive
inside-schedule win as he
crushed Mike Sediilo in the sixth
round in this suburb of Detroit.
Moorer, 22, made his sixth successful
defence of his World Boxing
Organisation light-heavyweight title
and afterwards used Mike Tysontype
language when describing his
final assault on the unfortunate
Sedillo.

TO ALL intents and purposes, Bobby Neill that erstwhile
Edinburgh fight man, should be looking to 1990 as a "guid
new year". But the former featherweight champion and
leading coach has severed his connection with Mike
Barrett and his stable of fighters.

ENGLAND'S preparations for the Commonwealth Games in
Auckland were clouded by the decisive stoppage defeat
suffered by bantamweight Keith Howlett against Ireland's
Joe Lawlor at the Sports Centre.
The 27-year-old soldier cannot even spar for 28 days
after being floored twice and rescued with a minute lelt in
the third round. Hardly the ideal build-up for the Games.

DEREK WILLIAMS makes a quick defence of his
European heavyweight title when he defends against
French champion JEAN CHANET at S t . Dizier, France on
February 3.
Williams won the title in style at Catford last month
when he hammered stablemate Hughroy Currie in t he
first round to win t he vacant title.
Chanet, a southpaw, was b e a t e n on points at Brentwood
in December 1988 by f o r m e r British title challenger
J e s s Harding.
