After having a look at Dave Russell's record, I noticed a mistake about which world title he held. Dave Russell won the WBF Cruiserweight title from Dan Murphy. He then lost it in his first defence against Johnny Nelson. Dave Russell NEVER fought for the WBF Heavyweight title. Not only can I clearly remember this, but I even had a look at the newspapers of the day in the State Library, and I can assure you that what I say is the truth.

Your right Lionel, i was there at Knox that night. Hottest night i have ever felt at the fights!!!
I have the fight program here in front of me and it was on Friday, December 11th 1992.
Wbf World Cruiserweight Champonship is all over the front cover of the program so i guess he won the WBF World Cruiserweight Title that night!!!

Also have Dave Russells record here in front of me 22 wins, 14kos, 7 losses, 3 draws, total 32 fights up till the Murphy fight. A few more fights than on his record on Boxrec! And looks like Dave had another fight against Nelson after the Murphy fight were he lost the cruiserweight title!
Also have Dans record here up till he fought Dave as 36 wins, 21 kos, 8 losses, 2 draws for a total of 47 fights! And looks like he had another 22 fights after fighting Dave!!!
Hope this helps some one!!!
Let me know if you want the records that i have!!!
