Jr. Middle Weight WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 12-4-92 (undercard)
21# Andy Till 17-2 (7) England BRI
vs. (12 Rounds)
5# Chris Pyatt 37-4 (29) England
- This was a huge step up in class for Andy Till, who had fought outside of London in only 2 of his previous 19 fights. His biggest win to date had been last September when he won a 12 round decision over Wally Swift Jr. to capture the British Jr. Middle title. The same title that had been held earlier in the year by Pyatt, only to be vacated when he challenged for the WBO title and defeated John David Jackson.
- With his 5# World Ranking, Pyatt had reasonable ambitions of challenging for the World Championship.
- Till put forth a game effort, but was no match for Chris Pyatt. The 5# contender was to strong and had far too many skills. Pyatt systematically wore Till down. The highlight of the fight for Till was when an accidental headbutt left Pyatt with a right eye that was 38% closed.
- The swollen eye only increased the ferocity of Pyatt’s attack in round 6. At 2:46 of the round the referee mercifully saved Till from further assault.
