Americans threaten Gardner and Magri

Claydon's courage is not enough

Sanigar's chance to impress

ON THE ABA TITLE TRAIL...

COT SEXTON BACK TO GRAB AT GLORY

OUT of all the boxers I have ever watched (and I
wouldn't mind £1 for each one) my favourite was
Freddie Mills. A lovable character, a tiger in the ring, but
gentle as a lamb outside it, Freddie was alleged to have
committed suicide, but I am one of many who do not go
along with this theory.
And it was with great
pleasure that I welcomed the
news of a memorial to Freddie
in his hometown of Bournemouth.

YOUNGSTERS were taking over from their elders in national squad and
individual championships and regional tourneys throughout Eastern Europe
around the turn of the year.
The accent remained on youth, and
on preparations for the 1980 Moscow
Games, though the much-heralded first
World Junior Amateur Championships,
earmarked for November in Bucharest,
Rumania, seems to have disappeared
from East European boxing calendars
since America's Don Hull took over the
presidency of AIBA from Russia's
Nikiforov-Denisov.
