Doyle's Chances As A Boxer
"ONE OF THE
་
BEST PROPOSITIONS"
SAYS BILLY WELLS
Ex-Bombardier Billy Wells,
a past British boxing cham- pion of many years ago, thinks Jack Doyle is one of the best heavyweight propositions
Britain has ever had.
Recently, he boxed three 'rounds with Doyle; and after- wards he said: "Doyle is faster than thought, and, although his footwork needs a little im- provement, I can testify to the power of his punch. I hope Jack will win the title, but he has to walk before he
