BOXING PROMOTERS' DREAM COME TRUE
WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN every boxing pro- moter's dream became a reality when twelve British boxers champions, ex-champions or near cham- pions, including one ex-champion of the world—-ap- peared on the same programme at a cost of only £60 and training expenses, states a message from Lon- don.
All the boxers are in the Royal Air Force, and they appeared in at charity tournament organised by the Marquess at Queensberry for the R.A.F. Benevatent Fund.
Each boxer received
tily 15 and training expenses atut it was partly due to their penerosity that more than £5,000 was raised.
Peter Kane, former dyweight champion of the world, Lie Boon, British lightweight title-holdes.
Harry Mizler and Rod Berg, both former British ghtweight cham- pions, were in action and all won their contest.
Mizier At His Best
Mizler gave one of his best dis- plays to outpoint the hard-hitting Northerner, Harry Craster, whose crude swinging was no match for Mizler's artistry. Craster tore m with head down, trying to get in some of his favourite body smashes, but Mizler's left was al- ways jabbed into lus face and there was always a following right; to complete Craster's disconfort. I Migler shared with Kune and, Tiny Bustock the special prize put up by the Marquess for the best winners, and he thoroughly de- served it.
Bostock, who outpointed the Welshman, Jim Wide, looks like a ready-made opponent for Jackie Paterson, the British and Empire flyweight champion.
He was 25,
studiously correct us Mizler and gave such a spark ing display that his chances of a title fight must have been enhanced.
British Heavyweight
Hope
Another who pushed his claims for a championship fight was Ser- gean Jack London 18st terror
of the heavyweight division, Lon- don's ham-like fists put Corporal Tom Reddington down no fewer than seven times in the six rounds and he was deprived of a win in- side the distance by Reddington's pluck, which was rewarded with a special prize. The Plth-like blows dealt out by London spelt destruction to Reddington's hopes in the first round when every bit of breath was knocked out of him. by a right to the body.
Could any of the other top-notch heavyweights such as Len Har- vey and Tommy Farr (whom Lon- don has repeatedly challenged) stand up to those punches? It is
intriguing
which many fight followers would like to see answered.
question
as though there would be an up- set. Boon, а notoriously slow starter, took some time to warm up, but once he did he made it hot for Finn. Finn's experience and ringeraft alone saved him from a knockout.
