• Date: 1958-05-30
• Location: Jordal Amfi, Oslo, Norway

Norwegian bantam Anders Haga had his second pro bout against black Surinam boxer Sugar Ray. Ray entered the ring in a yellow bathrobe and his shadowboxing made the 4500 crowd at the open air Jordal Amfi fear the worst. Sugar Ray went out for the 1st like a whirlwind. Haga crouched with a double guard, a defence Ray quickly blasted away to get in his right hooks to body and head. Haga went down twice in the 5th from body punches. A third knockdown in the 6th made the ref stop the one sided affair. At that time the points were 25-12.
