Pat Barrett (17-1-1) gets his shot at the British Light-Welterweight title against Tony Willis (25-3). Willis had recovered from a 1st round disaster against George Feeney in 1983 to capture the British Lightweight title 2 years later. Willis eventually lost that crown to Alex Dickson before this fight against Barrett for the vacant 10 stone belt.....9th May 1989, City Hall, St.Albans.
I had really high hopes for Barrett back then. Particularly after his subsequent string of successful defences of the European title. I was surprised he never fulfilled his true potential
