- Date: 1962-09-14
- Location: Velodromo Vigorelli, Milan, Lombardia, Italy
- Referee: Pierre Verrieres
"The 25 year old Eddie Perkins battered 33 year old Duilio Loi for nearly 15 rounds Friday night to wrest the world junior welterweight crown from the Trieste-born strongman before a capacity crowd of 20,000 at Milan's Velodrome. Eddie was on top throughout the fight and the closest he came to any trouble was when he slipped to the canvas in the 1st round and was flipped onto his back in the 14th by strange ju-jitsu like tactics by Loi." -United Press International

- "I'm offering Loi a chance to fight me again if he wants it. But I also have a number of other plans in mind - like meeting Carlos Ortiz for the lightweight title." -Eddie Perkins
- "I will fight one or two more times just for the sake of my fans and then I will withdraw from boxing. I do not think I was beaten this time, but maybe I am getting old." -Duilio Loi
