IT m a d e a p l e a s a n t c h a n g e in Liverpool last
S a t u r d a y to a t t e n d a s h ow which ran so
smoothly, the fights going on o n e after the
other, minus interruptions for television.
But t h e threat of crowd trouble almost
wrecked t h e s h ow before Ricky Hatton's
s c h e d u l e d 12-rounder with Mark Winters, a

jobs quickly and effectively to maintain the calm.

ENSLEY BINGHAM'S High Court case against the Board of
Control to reverse a decision declaring the British light-middleweight
title vacant ended in failure.
The judge ruled in the Board's favour after listening to evidence from both sides.
It is now expected that unbeaten punchers WAYNE ALEXANDER and PAUL
SAMUELS will meet for the vacant crown in the New Year, though it has yet to be
approved by the Championships Committee.
"We always felt we were right on this issue," said John Morris, Board Secretary.
"But I don't like actions against boxers. We don't want to hold Bingham back."

JONATHAN THAXTON, the Norwich
light-welter b e a t e n on cuts by J a s o n Rowland
for t h e British title last month, h a s had his
licence s u s p e n d e d by the Board of Control
after failing a post-fight d r u g s test.
The Board have delayed any decision
pending future c o n t e s t s for t h e title until a
hearing to decide Thaxton's future.

SOUTHERN Area welterweight champion
Harry Dhami warmed up for his New
Year challenge for the British crown
with a hard-fought points win over
Doncaster trier Lee Bird in the main event
at the Prince Regent Hotel.
Dhami, tall with long arms, controlled the
pace, but Bird got close enough to share the
third and nick the fourth with his swarming,
hooking style, although this was not reflected
in referee Jeff Hinds' 6 0 - 5 4 score.

FRANK MALONEY, in association with local promoter
Mike Michaels, staged the first licensed professional

mainly of British soldiers based on the island.
