Over Terry Allen

London, Apr, 28.

Terry Allen, British Flyweight Champion and former world title holder, was narrowly beaten on points by Gaeten Annalory, of Tunisia, over ten rounds at the Empress Hall, London, tonight, after a splendid contest.

It was a severe setback for Allen, who has not fought since winning the British title last October and may seriously interfere with his plans for a world title fight with Yoshio Shirai, the world champion, in Japan later this year.
