MINTER returns to the ring where he took the title from Italy's Germano Valsecchi inside five rounds in February. Tonight he will be determined to underline his claim to a shot at the world title now vacant following the retirement of Carlos Monzon. TONNA, 28, is a tough former
European Champion with- a string of knockout wins to his credit. He beat Britain's Kevin Finnegan for this title in 1975. Also news of tonight's World Cup soccer matches involving Scotland and Northern Ireland.
