Denmark's Christian "Chris" Christensen wins a 10-round split decision over Billy Graham at Eastern Parkway Arena in Brooklyn, New York.

"Gentleman Chris" competed for Denmark in the 1948 London Olympiad, and was eliminated in the first round of the Welterweight class, he went 56-19-4 (16 KO's) as a pro and fought for the (Australian recognized version) Junior Middleweight Title against Emile Griffith in 1963 getting TKO'd in the 9th round. 

Although the match was announced as a world title fight in the light-middleweight division, only Australia recognized it as such, as Griffith was never generally recognized by any major boxing sanctioning organizations as a World Light Middleweight champion.
