CAMDEN TOWN welterweight prospect David
Dent chalked up his 12th consecutive win with a
hard-fought eight round points verdict over
Birmingham's Wally Swift Junior at the York
Hall.
Swift — who lost his own unbeaten record,
having previously scored 10 wins and a draw under
his mother's maiden name of Reynolds — was a
late replacement for Cardiff's Darwin Brewster,
and was clearly a long way short of full fitness.

GUYANA featherweight champion Jeff Roberts learned at
1 pm on the day of the show, that he was needed to help
rescue Eddie Thomas's Newport Leisure Centre bill,
ravaged by late withdrawals. He raced down the M4,
entered the ring within an hour of his arrival and duly
outpointed Wales's top lightweight, Andy Williams.

DON'T be fooled by the Michael Jackson resemblance and
fashion-plate look: underneath the pop-star exterior,
Michael Olajide is a real fighter.
Olajide was tough and vicious in his fourth-round
hammering of Richard Burton. It confirmed he's a genuine
world-title contender and worthy of his high rating by
WBC, WBA and IBF.
When the various middleweight titles come up for grabs
later this year, Olajide should be right in the picture.
The win over Burton, a black New Yorker who can bang
a bit, showed Olajide's not the powder-puff hitter he's been
painted by the New York media.

ONE O F the legendary characters of Irish amateur boxing, Ollie Byrne, whose ring career
spanned an astonishing 36 years, has died in his native Dublin, Ollie, who was 62, had
maintained a life-long dedication to physical fitness and was running marathons until struck
by cancer last year.
