Manchester, July Jackie Jurich, leading contender for world flyweight honours, gained a decision ov Phil Milligan of Oldham, England, in a ten-round bout tonight.
The American scrapper, who was recently flattened in the 12th round of a 15-frame clash by Benny Lynch disqualified world champion, was forced to go all out to win the nod.
Although Lynch knocked out Jurich, his title was taken away from him because he failed to enter the ring within the flyweight limit.
The Scottish battler fought well oven the 112-pound limit and the British Boxing Board decided to the flyweight championship although it nominated Jurich as the leading contender Jurich holds the American- title, having beaten Small Montana for the honour, Lynch beat the Filipino last year for the world crown—
