- Referee: Elvir Goransson
British welterweight Dick Duffy got a popular 8 round points win over Swedish welter hope Stig Walterson, a former amateur ace who had turned pro rather late at the age of 27 in 1964. Duffy's win was never in doubt although he was floored in the 4th and 6th by Walterson's left hooks. Walterson became clumsy as the left jabs of Duffy hit him again and again.
A crowd of 2,500 applauded Duffy in the Fairs Hall, Gothenburg.
Stig Walterson retired after this bout, leaving a record of 11- 2- 1. His first loss was to Johnny Cooke of Britain.
