Meanwhile, Amrit Ravel returns to the scene, first defeating Nikita Shestorkin by K.O. in 10th round and win the IBU and then the IBA title in a match with Australian boxing champion John Scott. Charles Drederick loses his WBC title fight to Floyd Liston on points. John Wayne takes on the young, agile and fast Darius Jeffries. Thanks to his hard shots, John Wayne finally knocks Jeffries down in the 8th round and wins the WBA belt. Montana is angry that Drederick is refusing to fight and that he is going into seclusion.
