			"The Edmonton Boxing Commission, Wednesday night awarded the British Empire middleweight crown to Wilf Greaves of Edmonton. Earlier, at the end of the 15 round fight, it had been announced to 3,500 fans that Greaves and defending champion Dick Tiger of Nigeria had fought to a draw. First indication that there was anything wrong was when the commission called an emergency meeting to discuss the possibility that scorecards had been added incorrectly. The reversal was no announced until long after the arena was empty. Tiger and Greaves put on one of the best boxing displays seen in Edmonton for a long time." -Canadian Press
