  • "Howard Winstone of Wales won the British featherweight boxing title at Wembley tonight when he beat the holder, Terry Spinks, who retired at the end of the 10th round of a 15 round contest. With a rapier-like left, a deadly right hook and astonishing speed, the slender Welshman had Spinks in dire trouble midway through the contest, when it was clear that a new champion was to be crowned. Winstone, a former British Empire Games champion, is now unbeaten in 25 professional contests." -Reuters
