BATTERED, HE KNOCKED OUT ZULU WARRIOR IN THE FOURTEENTH ROUND

By HAROLD MAYES

Peter Keenan, former British and British Empire bantamweight champion; of Glasgow, Scotland, reached the end of the trail - a while back.

But however long his feats are talked about, I'll gamble that.

the one fight which will always stand high above all the others in memory is the one in which he knocked out Jake Tuli in Glasgow's Cathkin Park in September, 1955, in. defence of his Empire crown.
