UNDEFEATED Chris Eubank puts his World Boxing Council International
middleweight title on the line for the second time when he meets
Birmingham challenger Kid Milo at the Brighton Conference Centre on
Wednesday.
It's a fight Eubank may consider a mark-time job as he awaits a
showdown with one of the big guns of the division.
Milo's a respectable enough fighter on a domestic level, but doesn't
really rank anywhere close to Nigel Benn, Herol Graham and Michael
Watson or the champions Michael Nunn and Mike McCallum.
Eubank's problem now, apart from the obvious task in hand of beating
Milo, is how to make the transition from unbeaten prospect to a man who
can be marketed alongside the stars.
FORMER undisputed world heavyweight champion
George Foreman is set to make his British debut next
month - at the age of 42!
Big George is scheduled to meet Walter Masseroni of
Argentina on a Frank Warren promotion at the London
Arena on September 25. It's a Tuesday night show, which
will take place in the full-capacity Arena which holds
12,000.
IT'S BEEN a disastrous few weeks in boxing Down Under.
Firstly there was the twice postponed WBC superfeatherweight
title fight between Jeff Fenech and Juan
Laporte and the cloud still hanging over Fenech's fistic
future. Next came crushing defeats for our WBC lightheavyweight
king Jeff Harding and then Melbourne
heavyweight hopeful Jimmy Thunder.
FORMER WBC light-welterweight champion Lightnin' Lonnie Smith scored his most
important victory for five years when he forced Henry Anaya to retire after 10 rounds in a
bout for the vacant NABF welter title at the Dunes Casino.
Smith's career seemed to fall apart after his shock knockout win over Billy Costello on
August 21, 1985; he was knocked out by Rene Arredondo in his first defence, outpointed
by Andy Nance, and had won only three minor fights in the last three years.
Against Anaya he showed flashes of the skills that had taken him to a world title, leading
the llat-footed, technically-limited Anaya a merry dance with his nifty footwork and sharp
reflexes
BRITAIN has another world beater in Manchester light-welterweight Pat " B l a c k F l a s h " B a r r e t t . He was simply
devastating in flattening defending champion and favourite E f r em Calamati with 11 seconds left in the fourth
round at an open-air venue on the beachfront in this western Italian port.
Lloyd Honeyghan did a similar job in 1985 to win the European welterweight title when he flattened world
light-middleweight champion to-be Gianfranco Rosi in three rounds; similarly Alan Minter knocked out the
ill-fated Angelo Jacopucci in 1978 and Maurice Hope stopped future world middleweight champion Vito
Antuofermo in 1976 for the light-middleweight title.
