KEEPING YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE STARS OF YESTERYEAR
 
THE reign of Colin McMillan as British boxing's new
Golden Boy lasted just four and a half months. What
was expected to be a winnable defence against
Colombian Ruben Palacio turned to disaster as the
Barking man lost his WBO featherweight title when
he suffered a dislocated shoulder, and consequent
technical knockout defeat.
 
WITH ALL the rumours floating around about the
cause of Emile Griffith's recent hospitalisation, we
were told by a close personal friend of Griffith's
what the real story was. The person did not want to
be named, but is someone of high integrity.
Upon his retirement from boxing, Griffith caught
on as a trainer for several world class boxers.
 
ALTHOUGH, as happens nowadays, there was no real break in
amateur boxing during the summer months, now is the time
when clubs are really back at work in gyms getting ready for the
1992-3 season. Welcome back!
For the pessimists, the season following the Olympic Games
is perhaps a bit of an anti-climax; the optimists will look upon it
as the start of the build-up to the 1996 Games in Atlanta. There
will be a BN preview of the 1992/3 season soon.
 
THE LATE Welshman Jack Petersen was one of Britain's best
and most popular champions. For the last few years of his life
he was president of the British Boxing Board of Control, and I
was privileged to be one of a select gathering to be invited to the
official opening of the Board's new premises in the Borough
High Street, South East London, which have been appropriately
named JACK PETERSEN HOUSE, as a perpetual memory to his
name.
