It's a historic night on Mike Barrett 's promotion at the Royal Albert Hall in London where two of Britain's brightest young prospects, Charlie Magri and Jimmy Batten , top the bill. MAGRI, four times ABA champion, becomes the first fighter to challenge for a British title after only two professional fights. He meets Dave Smith for the vacant Flyweight crown, BATTEN, the British Lightmiddleweight champion, has his toughest fight so far against the former world champion Elisha Obed of the Bahamas over ten rounds. Commentary on both fights by DESMOND LYNAM , with expert comments by HENRY COOPER.
