Willy Wise's missing bout in U.K?

Post by Mastrangelos »

Hey all,

You can hear commentators mentioning it around 13:50
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmT8MUL59I8

Normally, I'd think it was just a fading memory of veteran fighter who might've not know where He was fighting - but I'm pretty sure I once came across a bout of Wise on Youtube that wasn't "registered" in Boxrec's database...
Sadly, I can't find it on Youtube... here I can't be sure how much can I trust my memory - but I beleive the bout was against David Armstrong, fought over 12 rounds:

The fact that Armstrong fought in U.K makes me believe I might be right here...

So the question is - does anyone know anything about it?

I think it's impossible that he fought here as a pro and it went under the radar. Maybe he fought in an amateur international.

You're most likely right - and I come across so many fights on Youtube that my memory can definitely play tricks on me here! Just a curious thing I wanted to ask about.

I am going through a big bunch of late-80's / early-90's Boxing News -papers and adding amateur results from them. A good chance that I will eventually come up with Willie fighting in UK as an amateur. As a pro, deffo not.
