British No Contest

Post by SingaporeSmoke »

I have been trying to trace a fight I watched that was called off by the ref - possibly as a No Contest or both fighters being disqualified.

It would have been in the '80s or '90's and was on UK tv, possibly the BBC.

If I recall correctly, the ref called it off in about the fourth as neither boxer would engage despite several warnings from the ref to do so.

Its one of those interesting/quirky events that should be well known, yet doesn't seem to be so (apart from me!)

Can anyone help me out with this - re info or even footage?

Many thanks.

Could it be Alan Minter v. Jan Magdziarz third fight?
They were both disqualified for not trying in the fourth round.
October 29th. 1974
Maybe it is on Youtube, if not I have a copy.
