[?]nd "Hellfire" on the Way Up!

)HNNY “Hellfire” Halafihi, Ton g a n light - heavyweight champion, at present creating roc among the British light ivyweights, has now been de ibed by ex-world rated heavy ght, Tommy Farr, of Wales, as uture world champion.

Only a cruel accident can stop lafihi from becoming world light ivyweight champion within two ts”, said Farr, and the way vhich Halafihi disposed of British >e, Johnny Sullivan, recently, Is weight to Farr’s statement, n the latest British Empire ings, Halafihi is number 3, below .mpion Yolande Pompey and m Durelle, of Canada, both of se boxes also being placed high the world ratings.

Hellfire” Halafihi is at the tnent looking for a fight with npey, and if he can manage to t the Trinidad champ he should e no trouble in overcoming the

over-rated American opposition (if he is lucky enough to get a fight in America at all).

Perhaps this is why Tommy Farr conservatively says that the Tongan should be world champ in two years. He is obviously a logical con tender for world title elimination fights but he will have his hardest fight in getting rated Americans into the ring with him.

The hard-hitting Tongan, aged 24, has only lost one fight in 37 matches and has an imposing list of knockouts to his credit. He would have a harder time against Pompey than he would with the present world champion, Archie Moore, an ageing veteran of the ring, who beems to be world champ only be cause he is the best American in this division.
