KNOX HELD AGAINBONNYRIGG'S
unbeaten flyweight KEITH KNOX
(8st 21bs) was held to a draw for the second time in
consecutive fights, this time by Preston veteran
LOUIS VEITCH (8st 1 3/41bs).
Knox looked aggrieved at sharing a 59-59 draw
from referee Mullen, but his high work rate and allaction
style can prove deceptive, since many of his
punches land with the open glove.
COMMONWEALTH bantamweight champion
Johnny Armour looks set fair for a second
title when he meets Italy's Antonio Picardi
for the vacant European crown at York Hall,
Bethnal Green, on Wednesday (April 19).
Chatham southpaw Armour was originally
scheduled to meet Dane Johnny Bredahl for the
title relinquished by Naseem Hamed, and it's no
insult to Armour to suggest that he would have
started an underdog if he had been forced to travel
to Denmark.
LLOYD HONEYGHAN paid grudging homage to the
passing years by announcing his retirement last
week at the age of 34. He should be remembered
with respect and affection as one of the finest British
boxers of his generation. At his peak, he was also a
tough, fiery welterweight champion of the world.
After a six-year professional apprenticeship, Honeyghan -
who billed himself as the "Raggamuffin Man" - became a star in
18 stunning minutes by trouncing Don Curry in six rounds at
Caesars, Atlantic City, in September 1986.
That victory will rank among the handful of great British performances
abroad. "I ain't scared of Curry, I ain't scared of no
one," he said as he backed himself to inflict the first defeat on
the supposedly invincible champion.
IT IS not as widely known as it ought to
be that Roy Jones and his promotional
company, Square Ring Inc., donated
five per cent of the live gate from his
recent defence against Antoine Byrd to
Gerald McClellan, or that HBO, who
screened the fight, matched Jones' gesture
dollar for dollar.
McClellan is now back in America and
making slow but steady improvement-
Gordon Holmes, who managed Mark
Goult, reports that Mark's fight-back
from injury continues. "He recently
walked a hundred yards, which is
major progress", he told me. "It's a
long, slow job but he's a real fighter."
