IT'S ALL happening in Britian's hectic middleweight division just now, with fur flying in and out of the ring. CHRIS EUBANK
retained his WBC International title against Kid Milo at Brighton (main picture) and afterwards issued a fiery challenge to WBO
king NIGEL BENN (top right). But Benn has a $5m dollar date already lined up against THOMAS HEARNS (above, right) in
January, although if the money is right he could accomodate Eubank before then.
Commonwealth champion MICHAEL WATSON (above, left) is limbering up for a legal battle in a bid to split with manager
Mickey Duff, while British champ HEROL GRAHAM (top left), who has had his share of managerial disputes, enters final
preparation for his October 13 battle in Monte Carlo with Julian Jackson for the vacant WBC title.

LIVERPOOL'S Alan Pennington, beaten in two rounds by
Frank Eubanks of Manchester at Everton Park Sports Centre
last week, will campaign at light-middleweight in future.
Carl Moorcroft said Pennington walks around at 11st 31bs,
and will now be looking to re-establish himself at the lower
weight. He had won three fights in a row before the defeat.

big jump in class when he challenges Modest Napunyi of
Kenya for the Commonwealth title at the Kings Hall, Stoke,
on Tuesday.
Armstrong, a 21-year-old developed by Pat Brogan
largely in Stoke, has boxed no-one in Napunyi's class
before.
The Kenyan is at the veteran stage at 32, but has had
only 19 professional fights spread over nine years. He won
the Commonwealth title last January by outpointing Percy
Oblittey Commey of Ghana in Nairobi and this is his first
defence.

IRELAND'S current IBF flyweight champion Dave
McAuley makes what looks to be a tough defence
of his title against unsung Colombian Rafael
Blanco in Belfast tomorrow (Saturday).
It's the third time 29-year-old McAuley has put
his 8st belt up for grabs since he took it from
Duke McKenzie on a 12-round decision at
Wembley 15 months ago.

THE success that George Foreman has enjoyed on
comeback has encouraged other old timers to contemplate
a return to the ring. The latest hoping to return is
Alfredo Escalera, who worked friend Edwin Rosario's
corner during his most recent fight. Rosario is hoping to
persuade his manager Bill Cayton to help Escalera in his
comeback.

BIRMINGHAM City welterweight Robert McCracken wrote one of the most
glorious pages in the recent history of English amateur boxing when he won a
brilliant silver medal in the prestigious Sixth World Cup competition at the
National Stadium.
