  • Location: Empire Pool, Wembley, London, United Kingdom
  • Referee: Jack Hart

"Brian Curvis picked himself off the floor to narrowly decision Dave Charnley over 10 rounds at the Empire Pool Tuesday night in a bout which had the capacity crowd roaring their approval from the opening bell. Curvis, who has not fought for nine months because of an Achilles tendon injury which nearly finished his career, finished with a cut over his right eye, while Charnley also had a cut right eye. Curvis was slightly ahead going into the 5th round, but after the tremendous opening pace when the two southpaws were attacking all the time, the pace slackened until the 8th when Charnley brought the 10,000 fans on hand to their feet by flooring Curvis with a vicious right hook. Curvis took the final round which probably earned him the decision." -United Press International
