"Ken Buchanan, British lightweight champion, made it 26 straight when he outpointed Ivan Whiter in a fast eight-rounder. Whiter, former Southern Area welterweight champion, 141 1/2, held a weight advantage of 7 1/2 pounds and put up stout resistance for the first half of the bout, but when Buchanan began to put on the pressure, the verdict was never in doubt. From the 5th the two-handed attacks of Buchanan held sway, and it was only a formality for referee Benny Caplan to raise the hand of the Scot." -Ring Magazine, September 1968 issue

  • Whiter was a substitute for Liam Clarke.
  • The referee's scorecard was 39 3/4 to 39 for Buchanan on the British scoring system.
