Joe Bugner 'Overrated/Underrated'

June 1970

'Brit Heavyweight Here to Scout Sonny Liston'

Hungarian-born British Heavyweight Jozsef 'Joe' Bugner is here to
watch the heavyweight bout between former Champion Sonny Liston
and New Jersey Heavyweight Chuck Wepner.

The 20 year-old Bugner is an up and coming heavyweight who wants
to challenge the winner for a future bout in the United Kingdom.
Jozsef is coming off of his biggest win, a 5th round knock-out over
Brian London, a two-time challenger for the World Heavyweight
Championship, and former British and Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion.

Former Champion Sonny Liston is hoping to get back to his winning ways,
as he was upset by Leotis Martin in his last fight. Liston, though not what
he once was, is still a dangerous opponent for anyone.

The 29 year-old Chuck Wepner is a tough club-fighter, who is famous
for his rough-brawling style, as well as his tendency for facial injuries.

Note: The 6' 4" 215 lb. (15 stone 5 pounds) Jozsef Bugner has a record of 26-2-0 (18 KO's).
Bugner is ranked as the #3 British Heavyweight.
He is not ranked by Ring Magazine.
