SCOTTISH light-welterweight
MAI^K BRESUN has retired
because of recurring hand injuries.
The 26-ye£U'-old from Barrhead,
undefeated in 15 fights (all wins)
and rated No. 10 in our rankings,

it's all over. The pain has been
extremely severe on occasions and
my doctor advised me to retire or
face permanent damage."
Breslin, who has an HND in
sports coaching and management
from Cardonald College, Glasgow,
has won a place at Manchester
University where he will work
towards an honours degree in

scheduled for Atlantic City tomorrow (Saturday,
July 4) has been scrapped.

champion KEITH MULUNGS, who withdrew
because of a shoulder injury. Norris came in as a
replacement, but is now being lined up for a possible
IBF title shot against YORY BOY CAMPAS in Las Vegas

bill against JUUO CESAR CHAVEZ, a three-round winner

ONLY a matter of days after Jane Couch was licensed as Britain's first
Board of Control woman boxer, undefeated Welshman BARRY JONES
had his licence taken away.
The unfortunate news, which had been on the cards, was made on medical
grounds and Jones, who never received the opportunity to defend the WBO
super-featherweight crown he won last December, was called to the Board's
offices in London on June 24 for a special meeting at which he was informed.
Jones' licence was suspended shortly before he wfis scheduled to face
Frenchman Julien Lorcy in Paris after taking an MRI scan. After considering
the medical evidence, the Board said they were unable to reverse their
decision.
Board President Leonard 'Nipper' Read, said: "This is a decision taken with
great regret. But the Board feels it is a decision taken in the interest of Barry's
continued good health."
Jones, 24, has two weeks in which to lodge an appeal to an independent
panel.
