London, Dec. 15.-Dick Turpin, the British and Empire middle-weight_champion, has been refused permission by the British Boxing Board of Control to fight Cyrille Delannoit, of "Belgium, for the latter's European title.

Turpin had been matched with Delannoit by a Belgian promoter, the fight to be held in Brussels next month, but Mr George Middleton, Turpin's manager, was informed by the Secretary of the Boxing Board, Mr Charles Donmall, that the fight would not be recognised.

The reason was that the Italian, Tiborio Mitri, who was also a contender, had held Turpin to a draw.

An ultimatum was presented to Mr Middleton by the
