Jan Persson beat Anders Haga by TKO in round 5 of 6
- Date: 1965-12-28
- Location: Messehallen, Oslo, Norway
Norwegian bantam Anders Haga was great in defeat against the Swede Jan Persson, their third meeting. In high tempo both men attacked and countered. In the 4th Haga went down from a hard right. When he got up Persson became too eager in his attempt to finish the fight and walked straight into a Haga right which generated a roar from the 5000 crowd in Oslo's Messehallen. Persson retreated and thought things over.
This right however seemed to have injuried Haga's hand and he had to retire in the next round.
