"British heavyweight champion Joe Erskine of Wales won the British Empire title when he outpointed Joe Bygraves of Jamaica over 15 rounds at the Granby Halls tonight. A crowd of 8,000 saw Erskine give Bygraves a boxing lesson virtually throughout the fight after Bygraves had scored heavily in the first two rounds with some good left hooks to the body. But once Erskine mastered a defense agains this punch, Bygraves had nothing further to offer against a rapier-like left and solid right crosses." -United Press
