(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright)
BELGRADE, June 19. A Jugoslav amateur boxer, Nikola Kankaras, aged 31, was acquitted yesterday of a charge that through negligence he caused the death of an opponent in a light-weight bout two years ago. The judge said that the court considered both boxers were “unprepared and in physically weak condition and possessed * low level of all those technical qualities which sport demands.” Kankaras’s opponent was IHja Pljackic, aged 25. The fight was stopped in the first round.
