Former Golden Gloves and Junior Olympic champion Darrin 'Schoolboy' Van Horn returns to the ring in triumphant fashion, scoring a unanimous 10-round decision over Nicky Walker in Pensacola, Florida. Van Horn—who attended the University of Kentucky—was making his first appearance since losing his super-middleweight title in a 1991 bout against Iran Barkley. With the victory Van Horn improves his professional record to an impressive 48-3 mark.
