A Great Fight Recalled at 8.0
The Light-Heavyweight Championship of the World
Archie Moore (U.S.A.) v. Yvon Durelle (Canada)

"The most thrilling world title fight for years" - that's what everyone called this bout between Moore and Durelle. Tomorrow night they meet again in Montreal. Tonight, BBC Television presents an exclusive recording of their meeting last December when Durelle, the Canadian fisherman, has Moore, the longest reigning World Champion, on the canvas three times in the first round. The return fight will be shown on Friday night.
