-BOXING CLASSIC

London.

Joe Erskine aims to chalk up two victories in one night when he steps into the ring at Wembley's Empire Pool tonight, against Willie Pastrano, big listed opponent for the occasion, and his old bugbear, cut-eyes.

If Joe can beat the cut-eye menace he can beat Pastrano, rated No. 5

in world rankings, and do himself and British boxing a lot of good.
