Bantam Title Dispute Ready To Be Cleared
One of three tangled boxing championships will be settled Thursday in Sao Paulo Brazil as Johnay Caldwell of Ireland faces Eder Jofre of Brazil in a 15 round bout. Caldwell holds Europe’s 118 pound title while Jofre is recognized as South American and NBA champion in the United States. The division has rotated since Joe Becerra retired after losing to Eloy Sanchez. Jofre earned NBA recognition by stopping Sanchez in Los Angeles on November 18 1960 and then defeated Piero Rollo and Ramon Arias. Caldwell earned Europe’s recognition by outpointing France’s Alphonse Halimi twice in London last year. Both men bring strong records Jofre 40-3-0 Caldwell 23-? with many knockouts.
