AMIR KHAN'S opponent in hometown
Bolton on September 2 is
RYAN BARRETT.
The tall, lean Thamesmead
southpaw is a tricky customer
- busy, mobile and a man who
believes in himself. He will be out
to upset the applecart over six
rounds.
From 15 pro fights Barrett has
won 12, lost two and drawn one.
The 23-year-old went the full 10
rounds with rugged Scot Martin
Watson this year and has never
been stopped.
But he is not a big puncher -
only three wins inside.

CLARENCE ADAMS, the clever
former WBA super-bantam champ
better known as "Bones" Adams,
comes back tonight (Friday August
25) in Rochester Hills, Michigan.
Still only 32, having turned pro in
his teens in 1990, Adams (above) took
three years out when failing to win in
any of his last four starts, although
these included split 12-round points
losses to Paulie Ayala and Guty
Espadas Jnr.
Maybe the rest has done him good.
Bones was a child prodigy. But he has
had a lot of fights at 46-6-4 (19).
No opponent had been named at
print time.
Unbeaten Ronald Hearns, 9-0 (7),
was also unmatched as we went to
press but already has a fight lined up
for September 15.

ENGLAND'S six-strong team returned
from the World Cadets in Istanbul
(August 5-13) with a bronze medal
for Danny Phillips of Middlesbrough
club South Bank.
"It was a tough tournament," said
team manager Martin Webb. "So we did
well with an inexperienced team. Two
lost to the gold medallist and three to
the silver medallist."
The championships attracted 40
nations and 212 boxers, who took part
in 199 bouts. Of the 26 finalists, 22
came from Eastern Europe (20 from
what used to be the Soviet Union).
Russia won seven gold and two silvers.
Western European interest was
limited to England and Italy, while Cuba
sent just two boxers - both of who won
silver. Hosts Turkey got six into the
semi-finals, where they all lost.
"There was open scoring, which
worked very welU' said Webb. "But
scoring went in favour of eastern
boxers when they met westerners,
in particular the Americans."
Phillips' weight, 57 kgs, drew the
most entries at 20 but he got a bye into
the second series, where he won 29-24
over Azerbaijan's Vusal Rzayev.
