- Location: Palacio de los Deportes, Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid, Spain
- This bout was fought on the undercard of the European junior welterweight championship bout between Rene Roque and Pedro Carrasco.
"Surprise of the evening was the defeat of former world and reigning European featherweight champion, Jose Legra, Spain, who was KO'd by the 28 year old Tahar Ben Hassen, Tunis, in the 4th. Legra underestimated his opponent in this non-title bout and appeared to have put in little preparation. A right uppercut decked Legra in the first seconds of the 4th and on his rising, the referee called a halt." -Ring Magazine, September 1971 issue
