BERSERK BOXER,
Gives his Opponent Foul K.O. then Fights Referee. SYDNEY RING SENSATION. United Press Assn. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received December 18, 10.10 am.) SYDNEY, December 18. Four thousand people at Newtown Stadium witnessed an offensive exhibition in the fight between Norman Roy and Billy Tyson, which was advertised as for the light-weight championship of the State. During the early rounds Tyson butted his opponent and fouled him in other ways. He knocked Roy to the floor with a foul blow and then attacked the referee, Art Mawson, and fought him for two minutes. Tyson was disqualified, but he stood over Roy and counted him out. Tyson then attacked his own seconds, and it took four of them to hold him down.
