INJUNCTION GRANTED
RECOGNITION OF TITLES BRITISH BOXER’S SUCCESSFUL APPEAL Rec. 8 p.m. LONDON. Oct. 17. Jackie Paterson was granted an injunction in the Chancery Division restraining the British Boxing Board of Control from recognising anyone but himself as holder of the world, British, and British Empire fly-weight boxing championships. The court further restrained the board from authorising or recognising any contest for these titles in which Paterson was not a contestant. The court said the board could apply on two days’ notice to discharge the injunction. The stewards of the board will meet again to enable Paterson to call witnesses not available at the first hearing.
Paterson on July 16 collapsed before weighing in for a title bout with Dado Marino, which was cancelled. The board deprived Paterson of the three titles.
Jack Solomons, the promoter, said later that the fight next Monday be tween Dado Marino and Rinty Mona-' ghan would, as far as he was concerned, be for the world fly-weighi championship.
