GET READY FOR WORLD WAR 3

THE DISTINGUISHED title of the meanest, roughest, toughest, hardest, most brutal - not to say dirtiest - fighter in Britain will be awarded to one of two gentlemen tonight.
The runner up will very likely be on his way to the infirmary, an oxygen tent, the crematorium, or at least the title role in sleeping beauty.
Colin Dunne - The Sun newspaper (Sept. 11th, 1978)
(The above was the write-up by the Sun newspaper's boxing columnist on the day of the third epic battle between Roy Shaw and Lenny McLean.)
