Sport in Short: Boxing

THE European Boxing Union has chosen 31 January next year as the date for a rematch of last week's fight between Britain's Derek Angol and the French European champion, Akim Tafer. The EBU ordered the rematch after deciding Angol had been incorrectly counted out in the bout in Epernay, France, following an appeal by Frank Warren, Angol's manager.

BRITAIN'S Pat Barrett will get a chance at the European super-welterweight title in Luxembourg on 2 December, providing the champion, Valery Kayumba, wins his voluntary defence against another Briton, Alan Hall, on 7 November, in Luxembourg.
