"At Copenhagen, Ugandan southpaw Ayub Kalule, based in Denmark, won the Commonwealth middleweight crown, halting Alipate Korovou, Fiji, in the 14th round before a crowd of 5,000. British referee Wally Thom stopped the fight in the 14th at a stage when one had to be in a generous mood to book a round for the champion, Korovou. Kalule is now undefeated in 21 fights." -Ring Magazine, September 1978 issue
- This was the first Commonwealth title fight to be contested outside of the Commonwealth.
