  • Date: 1968-05-03
  • Location: K.B. Hallen, Copenhagen, Denmark
  • Referee: Ejner Roth

Danish heavyweight hope Hans Jorgen Jacobsen (17-1-0 ) knocked out British Lloyd Walford (15- 16- 3 ) in the 4th round of a 6 rounder.

It was a strange fight. Walford danced wildly around Jacobsen, another example of Muhammed Ali's influence on the fighting style of a younger generation. But Walford threw very few punches, Jacobsen hit him, but wasn't able to follow up until in the 4th.

Series of punches with both hans floored Walford four times before the referee had enough.
