WEST HAM'S Johnny Claydon won the Southern
Area lightweight title at the second attempt via a
clear 12-rounds points verdict over defending
champion Tommy Dunn of Reading at the Anglo-
American Sporting Club — and now has his sights
firmly set on British champion Jim Watt, whom he
beat on a cut eye in a non-title fight in June.

MANAGER-PROMOTER Andy Smith gave his
Cambridge and District Sporting Club a lively
send-off for the new season, at the University Centre,
with a well-matched card and three impressive
victories for his own fighters.

BRITAIN'S boxers, having taken five titles in 1974, disappointed somewhat in this
year's Dutch multi-nations tourney held in Rotterdam between October 21-25 by
failing to gain a single championship, but some looked very unlucky with points
verdicts.
