The pair had a spirited bout in Wellington last yeai, when Hanham’s speed and sound defence enabled him to score a clear-cut win over his aggressive challenger. Since then, Hanham has beaten Vic Caltaux and Des Strickland, and Allen recently enhanced big reputation by the determined showing he made against Don Mullett in Wellington. Both the principals in tonights contest are boxer-fighters, and the tussle should be crowded with action. Attractive amateur boute will precede the professional contest.
