And A Londoner Make Three British Boxing Hopes
Says DENNIS HART
The boxing folk of Britain are excited. They have got the world title feeling. Not once or twice, but three times over.
The men carrying their hopes are Yolande Pompey, Hogan Bassey and Peter Waterman.
Pompey (need it be mentioned?) comes from Trinidad; Bassey, from Nigeria. Londoner Waterman is the only home-grown product.
But Commonwealth tics are strong-especially where a world boxing title is at stake. Pompey and Bassey reached the top while fighting in Britain, so they are tooked on as local boys.
