John Muwanga W who?

The 1980-12-2 fight is reported in RRB 1983 as Muwanga W 10 Lawrence Williams on both Muwanga's and Williams' record and as Muwanga W 6 Des Gwilliam on Gwilliam's record. Can anyone check which is the real version?

The Muwanga W 6 Des Gwilliam was in 1981-12-01
One day short of a year later.

I didn't get the dates in RRB 1983 right:

Muwanga's record: 1980-12-2 W 10 Lawrence Williams, Oslo
Williams' record: 1980-12-2 L 10 John Muwanga, Oslo
Gwilliam's record: 1980-12-1 L 6 John Muwanga , Oslo

There are no cards recorded in Norway for 1981, which makes sense beacuse as far as I know professional boxing was prohibited in Norway in that year, so the 1981 Oslo fight can't have happened. I still say it's a double entry. I'll ask Palais, he's from Norway.

FWIW,

Williams' record in 1981 Boxing News Annual p.85
Does NOT list this fight with Muwanga

Gwilliam's record on p.56 does 8)
