  • Location: National Sporting Club, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom
  • Referee: Eddie Maguire

"Dick Tiger, Nigeria, 165 3/4, came to London rings without a flourish of trumpets, but the manner in which he defeated Johnny Read, Norwood, 160, will surely bring him more offers for further contests. The bout lasted into the 2nd round, with Read taking five counts before referee Eddie Maguire called it a day." -Ring Magazine, August 1957 issue
