"Dick Richardson of Wales, European heavyweight champion, retained his title Tuesday night by stopping Brian London of Britain in the 8th round. London was forced to quit because of a cut eye. London, former British champion, had had the better of a rugged fight which was fast turning into a brawl. In the 8th round the boxers shouted angrily at each other and referee Andrew Smythe pulled them apart and gave London a stern lecture. Earlier he had warned Richardson to keep his head up. There was a fantastic scene when the referee raised Richardson's hand in victory. The two boxers, their seconds and a bunch of fans got involved in a brawl in the ring. When order was restored London said the brawl started when he tried to shake hands with Richardson." - Associated Press

Post fight comment: "I was going over to shake hands when a little fellow said something to me and came at me. I didn't mind Richardson having a go at me, but I'm not standing for the little fellow." - Brian London
