BILLED AS CHAMPION
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) LONDON. Salvatore Burruni, of Italy, and Walter McGowan, of Britain, have signed for a fight billed as being for the world fly-weight title, Associated Press reported. Burruni, who last month knocked out the Australian champion, Rocky Gattellari, in Sydney, was stripped of his title earlier by the World Boxing Council for not obeying an instruction to defend it against Hiroyuki Ebihara, of Japan.
