Boxer Archie Moore Acknowledging His Challenger After Fight

(Original Caption) London: Archie Moore Retains Title. Having received a closed left eye, light heavyweight king Archie Moore is still finished in far better shape, as he visits challenger Yolande Pompey (Left) in his corner following Moore's successful defense of his title here, June 5th. He bombarded Trinidad's Pompey to the canvas three times in the 10th round before the referee halted the bout on a T. K. O. It was Archie's fifth defense of his crown since he won the title in December, 1952. The leading heavyweight contender's next brawl will probably be with either Floyd or "Hurricane" Jackson.
