AFTER over one hour in the charming, intellectual company of Welshman
Nicky Piper, I parted with the feeling that everyone was laughing and I didn't
know the joke.
After all, Piper was only one week away from challenging formidable puncher
Nigel Benn for the WBC super-middleweight championship, but he was so
cool, calm and relaxed, that I started for a second, to question my judgement.
"I'm just looking forward to Christmas... as WBC champion," he said with a
light smile.

IMPROVING Commonwealth bantamweight champion
Johnny Armour made an impressive first defence by
disposing of outgunned Zambian Albert Musankabala
in five rounds at Lewisham Theatre.
Admittedly, Musankabala's more open, aggressive
style suited him, but Armour was much tighter and
more controlled than when he scraped through in his
title-winning performance against Ndaba Dube of Zimbabwe
in April.

THE world of amateur boxing suffered a tragic loss
when Johnny Banham passed away on December 3.
He was 49 and had been suffering from cancer for some
months.
Not only a leading boxer, he later became a top coach
and had a parallel career as a high-flying officer in the
Metropolitan Police.
He also found time to fit in such diverse achievements as
coaching in Sierra Leone and - in a spell outside the Police
- doing an 18-month stint as personal assistant and tour
manager for pop star David Essex!
Johnny began boxing in the Police, where he was also an
accomplished performer at swimming, water-polo, modern
pentathlon and fencing. He trained for several clubs before
beginning a lasting association with Lambeth's Fitzroy
Lodge.
