Newmarket, Apr. 26. and draw in his two starts with the steel-plated American Marine, Leo Kubiak.
In his final workouts yesterday Eng, who was amateur middleweight champion of Sweden in 1937 and 1938, indicated that if he can reproduce the same form in the ring against Wan, the Manchurian is more than likely to know that he has been in a fight before the clash is over.
The flaxen-haired Scandinavian is in the pink of condition and is quite confident of achieving success via the knock-out route.
He terminated his training yesterday by going eight three-minute rounds on the heavy bags and the way in which he was sinking both fists up to his wrists indicates that trouble is in the offing for Wan.
Eng finished his exercises with a little shadow boxing and calisthenics and was as fresh as paint.
He is very shifty on his feet and his left appears particularly effective. He is powerfully built and his opponent, quick as he is, may find trouble in penetrating what seems to be an air-tight defence. lightweight will endeavour to continue his winning spell by taking the measure of Johnny Rearick, a newcomer from the Marines, Two Wrestling Contests Mew York, Apr. 27.

The veteran Earl Whitehill came through last Monday to prove himself an effective southpaw starter, and Wan is on the short end of the odds, it being held that the slightly clder and more experienced Eng will be too formidable for the wiling and aggressive Harbin youth, But Wan, as he so forcibly demonstrated against Kubiak in their first meeting after the Marine had floored him twice, is a great up-hill fighter and he may prove that youth will not be denied.
