*'''[[World Boxing Council]] Light Heavyweight Title''' (1st defense by Williamson)

Dennis Andries overcame attacks from the media and his opponent J.B. Williamson, to register the upset 12-round split decision win and claim the WBC Light Heavyweight Title.

Andries launched an all-out attack from the opening bell, charging at Williamson and knocking the champion out of his stride.

Williamson recovered from a slight cut over his left eye during the sixth round to stem the tide a bit. But his title was lost as Andries launched one final burst of sustained aggression in the late rounds.

Only the American judge, Tony Castellano, scored against Andries. British judge Harry Gibbs and Dutchman Jean Deswert each scored in favor of the Englishman.
