MCAVOY REPLIES TO HYAMS
Willing To Box For
Title And Purso
Jack Mc-Avoy, British middle and cruiser-weight champion, has replied to an article concern- ing the complaint of Jack Hyams, who has been waiting a long time for his title battle with the Rochdale man.
McAvoy and Ilyams, who is the Southern Area middle-weight cham- plon, were to have met in Manches- ter in July, but the fight had to be postponed because McAvoy had not recovered from injuries re- fully ceived in a riding accident.
