challenger PHIL MATTHEWS

meets a Seventies tough guy

 

FAST-TALKING Alan McKay, the baby-faced featherweight from
the All Stars gym in Paddington, may have good reason to feel
aggrieved at British boxing's hierarchy, who have so far sidestepped
his efforts to fight for the national title.
An almost solitary white face in a predominantly black gym,
McKay can tell you who, where and when he's fought and accurately
spurt out a list of the achievements of most of his rivals without
hesitation, but even he doesn't have the answers to why his
opportunity hasn't been forthcoming.

 

WBO super-middleweight champion Chris
Eubank has started 1993 prepared to meet
the world and prove that he is the best.
"I'm prepared to meet any of the top fighters.
I'm now ready to deal with it and beat the
best to prove that I am the best. If I could, I
would fight 10 times," said the Brighton-based
champion who defended his crown five times
last year.

 

TWO of the brightest stars in the amateur firmament have
decided to turn professional: Belfast's Wayne McCullough
and Londoner Adrian Dodson.
Bantamweight McCullough has signed up with Barney
Eastwood after an unpaid career that culminated in a silver
medal at last year's Barcelona Olympics.
The brilliant Irishman also won a Commonwealth Games
gold at flyweight in February 1990, and a World Cup bantamweight
bronze later the same year.
