Randolph Turpin Talks ROBINSON'S RETURN FIGHT

FIGHTING FOR "NOBBINS".

As Told To PETER WILSON

I tell you thing you don't know. Three weeks before my last 1 fight, against Jackle Kerugh at the White City, I was lined up with a lot of the booth fighters accepting challenges from any one in the crowd.

Sure, they told the crowd who I was, but a lot of the er fellows didn't believe I'd there. There was one in parti- cular. He kept on yelling out that it was fake. That I wasn't really Randolph Turpin.
