April 16, 1993. Newcastle, England
Potentially regarded as a World contender in his career, Gardner never fulfilled his promise. His basic technique was never top notch but he possessed a vicious left hook - 24 of his 25 victories were inside the distance! Now 26 he still had a lot to offer, maybe still in with a shot at the British title again. Gardner was a good draw for Jowls and the purse was JJ's best on offer yet, £24,000.
Round 1. Jowls came out quickly and landed a left jab just as they reached the centre of the ring. Then the pair came together in a clinch and Gardner sustained a cut over his right eye. This would be the second Jowls fight to end as a No Contest so early. On the doctor's advice, the ref stopped the fight after only 38 seconds.
