AN INVESTIGATION

There will be an investigation by the Stewards of the British Boxing Board of Control unless it is decided that the Scottish branch can deal with it. Lynch will then be asked to explain why he was not able to warn the promoter and the board earlier that he would not be able to defend his title.

Lynch has lost heavily. He was to receive about £3,000 for the fight. But the receipts, instead of being more than £8,000 as expected, were believed to be less than Lynch's

The title is now declared vacant. There was a suggestion that Jurich would claim the championship, but ho will probably stay in this country seeking further matches.

I think Jurich will ultimately box for the title here.
