BRITISH boxing had many memorable nights
last year, but March 15 was the only occasion
when we had a world tide win to celebrate.
Charlie Magri, one-time tailor's cutter from
Stepney and long-term protege of the Terry
Lawless School of Champions, became the first
home boxer since John Conteh to win a world
tide on English soil - and the fight was a
natural for inclusion on our shortlist of 1983's
best bouts.

JIMMY CABLE sprang one of the upsets of the year
when he climbed back from the brink of disaster to
defeat the previously unbeaten Bristol southpaw Nick
| Wilshire at Wembley on May 3.
Cable was brought in for the heavy-punching Wilshire
S as a useful part of an education process geared towards
S producing a champion for the Mickey Duff-Mike Barrett
! empire.

SMILES all round with the Turpin brothers,
Jackie and Dick, having read a profile about
brother, Randolph, and Marcel Cerdan, who
fought Dick, in Reg Gutteridge's latest book.
(That's him in the middle).
The Turpins attended a recent LEBA meeting.
"I used to smoke half a Woodbine in the dressing-
room before every f i g h t , " said Dick,
middleweight champion in 1948.

wrestler) won in America on the same bill when
Randolph lost to Sugar Ray Robinson. (Photo:

AS THE New Year opens you could not blame young ABA light-middleweight champion
Roderick Douglas for taking a look back over hits shoulder. 1983 has been a year he will
surely never forget.
The 1982/83 season began with Douglas being outscored in the London Feds semi-finals
by Repton's Darren Humphries. However, even Rod never dreamed he would go on to take
an ABA tide, a Commonwealth Federation crown and demolish a European silver medallist
inside the distance.
