DEREK WILLIAMS gave his flagging career a muchneeded
boost when he crushed Australian-based New
Zealander J i m m y Thunder in just two rounds to retain
his Commonwealth heavyweight title at York Hall.
It was the Peckham giant's first victory since December
1989, when he stopped Hughroy Currie in one
round for both British and European titles.
His two outings last year had resulted in points
losses to Jean Chanet for the European title in France,
so a convincing win against Thunder could make a
match between him and Lennox Lewis seem an
attractive prospect.

IT is rapidly becoming impossible to ignore the WBO. They may never
reach the level of acceptance of the WBC, WBA or IBF but they are here
to stay and will only get stronger. They used to be known as the Kronk
Boxing Organisation, but could now be called the British Boxing
Organisation as we must be the largest contributor to their funds.
With so many good light-middleweights, it is surprising that
Argentina has not embraced the WBO or the IBF, as their boxing needs
the boost of more title fights.

ONCE AGAIN I had the pleasure of attending the 17th
annual dinner/dance of the Irish Boxers' Mutual
Benefit Association, which as usual was held in the
Garda Club, Harrington St, Dublin, last month and
again it was 'house-full', writes BENNY CARABINI.
This was a wonderful night with seven former stars of
boxing being honoured by the association.

IN 1984 Croydon EBA secretary Gilbert Allnutt came lip
with the idea of organising a reunion for boxers who
had served in the Royal Navy. The function was
arranged to coincide with the visit from Australia of a
gentleman who had boxed as S e a m a n Bill Storrie.
Also present was Bill's son David, and a couple of Bill's
old shipmates, Seaman Jim Lawlor and Seaman Tim
Cole, plus Bill's brother-in-law Stan Bruce, MVO. This
get-together was a great success, and it came as a
shock two years later, when Bill's death was reported.
Bill had two separate careers, one in the Royal Navy,
in which he served all his life, and the other as a boxer,
from schoolboy champion to professional level.
He was born in Custom House. East London, on
March 5, 1913, parents William Margaret, brothers
Joseph and Jimmy, sisters Peggy. Agnes. Eileen and
Jessie. He took to boxing like a duck takes to water, and
between 1926 and 1928 was East London Schoolboy
champion
