On January 1, 1951, Guyanese-born featherweight Clifford Matthew Anderson (Cliff) defeated Englishman Selwyn Evans by points in an eight-round contest held in London, England. 

It was the second time in two months that Anderson was meeting Evans. In the first fight staged in December of the previous year, the two battled to a draw after eight rounds.
Anderson had engaged in 13 battles that year winning six, losing four and drawing three. Born in 1921 Anderson started his professional career in 1940 and had his first seven fights at home before moving to England in 1945.
He fought a total of 87 fights before hanging up gloves in 1953. Anderson boxed 602 rounds in his 13-year career, had 48 victories (19KOs), 28 defeats and 11 draws. In recognition of his contribution to the sport the National Sports Hall was renamed the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
Anderson died in 1998.
