London, Aug. 25.
Tommy Farr is very angry with the British Boxing Board of Contro! because this body deprived him of his Welsh heavyweight title which they declared vacant.
"To think that T have lost that title without a fight," said Farr, "I have never defended the title because no suitable challenger appeared."
But Farr has rather missed the point. It was the Welsh branch of the B.B.B.C. which induced the Board to declare the title vacant. The Welsh branch having decided that, in future, Welsh champions who win British or other titles, will automatically cease to be Welsh champions.
This is quite a sensible decision as is is obvious that a Welshman holding another title, would often be compelled by financial considerations to turn down fights in his own country,—Reuter.
