SHANE MOSLEY'S decision to
vacate the IBF lightweight title
and move to 10st could be Billy
Schwer's gain seeing as STEVIE
JOHNSTON, the WBC king, had his
sights set on a unification fight.
Johnston defends his crown against
undefeated Argentine non-puncher
ALDO RIOS in Las Vegas on June 26,
but the southpaw's ambition is to
prove himself No. 1 in the division.
With Mosley gone and apparently
set to make his debut at 10st on June
19, Johnston's chances have
improved greatly.

FORGIVE me for being cynical, but what's the
catch? BUTTERBEAN, the heavyweight freak
who's matched over four rounds because he
doesn't have the ability or stamina to go
further, faces an undefeated opponent in Fort
Worth, Texas on June 11.
RUSSELL CHASTEN, from Louisville in Kentucky,
has seven wins, all inside the distance, but I can't
believe Butterbean's promoters would have agreed
to it if the Kentucky man's abilities reflected his
record.

EE ARMSTRONG puts his Central
Area super-featherweight title on
/the line against Franny Hogg in
what should be a hard, maybe ferocious,
10-round Yorkshire derby in Leeds on
Thursday night (June 10).
The holder, from Huddersfteld, finds
himself rated below local boy Hogg in our
British rankings (at lightweight) and won't
like that.

month and can look after himself. Former Commonwealth Games gold
medallist Neil can ease back with a stoppage in about six.
Sinclair's countryman MARK WINTERS, the former British 10st
champion from Antrim, has his first fight since being humbled by
precocious Brendan Ingle talent Junior Witter.
The eight-round decision defeat by Witter followed the loss of Mark's
domestic title on points to well-schooled Jason Rowland, so the niceboxing
Winters needs a win. He can get one against GARY REID of
Birmingham. Reid is useful but will bow to experience over six.
MARK PRINCE returns from his WBO light-heavy title defeat in an
eight-rounder against old victim TONY BOOTH. The fight had been
planned for last week's Halifax show and was previewed in last week's
paper. The same goes for PAUL BOWEN-GREG SCOTT-BRIGGS.
