Against The Americans

Says DENNIS HART

Joe Erskine is Britain's Heavyweight Champion. He is the No, 1 Aghter of a nation steeped in sports tradition, a nation that gave the world many sports- including boxing,

Joe Erskine is the man thumped and dumped to defeat in two minutes three seconds the other week by Nino Valdes.
