JOHN ROONEY may have been down
earlier this year when he lost
Mickey Steeds, but he is not out.
The London-based Northern Irish
trainer and manager has signed JOE
REA, a six-fight unbeaten middle
who has been doing his boxing
in Boston with Micky Ward in
his corner.
Rooney plans to get Rea, aged
23 and originally from Ballymena,
work on Matchroom bills.
Rooney also plans to get fights
for both Rea and MARTIN LINDSAY
in Canada on July 15 in Toronto
when STEVE M0LIT0R makes his
first IBF super-bantam defence
against TAKALANI NDL0VU of
South Africa.

FRANK WARREN has successfully
sued for libel the publishers of
Ricky Hatton's biography THE
HITMAN, written by Niall Hickman.
More than that, he has had
the book withdrawn. Warren has
received substantial damages and
says he has a further five claims
from the book in the pipeline.

NEIL SIMPSON, on reading last week
that Tony Booth was topping in a
British Masters-type cruiserweight
fight in Hull in September, called this
week to say he would love to be in the
other corner.
A couple of years ago, Booth dared
Simpson to come to Hull to fight him.
"I'm there," said Simpson.
It would be their fourth meeting: "He
[Booth] beat me in Cleethorpes, I beat
him in Leicester, and then I won that
tough eliminator in Coventry."

PETER OBOH comes out of hiding
on the Haye bill w i t h a long-awaited
defence, of his-British light-heavy
title against Portsmouth veteran
Tony Oakey.
It is an intriguing fight for two
reasons: has Oboh all but given up
a f t e r failing t o get a fight for three
years?
It must have been hard for the
s o u t h p aw to keep his incentive.
Two, n o matter h ow hard Oakey
has trained, and he has trained really
hard under Johnny Eames in Tenerife,
are his best days simply behind him?
Oakey has been struggling to
convince for a while. They say he
has never quite got over that ban
for drug-taking.
But h e keeps winning, if ugly. And
Oakey is t h e kind w h o fights better
the b e t t e r he fights.
