Professional Boxing: Billy Walker West Ham v. Johnny Prescott Birmingham
A recording of last night's return heavyweight fight at the Empire Pool, Wembley.
When these great rivals met in September, Walker won a controversial victory in the tenth and final round. Some critics felt Prescott was ahead when the referee stopped the contest-and for this return fight, sidestakes of £2,000 on behalf of each man have been deposited with the British Boxing Board of Control.

Also this week, voting begins for the Sportsview Personality of the Year
Launching of the poll in which viewers will choose Britain's outstanding sports star of 1963.
