London, Jan. 12.

Henry Cooper, of London, won the British and Empire Heavy- weight boxing titles here tonight, beating the holder, Brian London, of Blackpool, on points over 15 rounds. Cooper, a 24-year-old blonde plasterer, easily outpointed the

champion.

It was a gory, gruelling battle in which Cooper, a stone lighter than the champion, was on top from start to finish and did not lose a single round. London possibly shared honours

in the fifth and sixth, but that was all.
