Come On Turpin, Don't Risk Disaster
Says SYDNEY HULLS
In the brown clenched fists of Randolph Turpin, British and Empire Middleweight Champion, lies the immediate future of British boxing as a big-time sport with glamour and interest for millions,
If he beats Frenchman Charles Humez on June 9 at White City-two days after bis 25th birthday-for the British-styled world middleweight title, the way is open for bigger and better boxing with, of course, Turpin as No. 1 attraction.
