Chic Calderwood (1 September 1937 – 12 November 1966) was a Scottish light-heavyweight boxer from Craigneuk in North Lanarkshire, Scotland who was active from 1957 to 1966.
The fight, against Arthur Howard, was held in Paisley, Scotland, and Calderwood won by a technical knockout in the thirteenth round.
In his next fight, in June 1960, he met the Tongan, John Halafihi at Firhill Park, Glasgow, for the Commonwealth light-heavyweight title.
Calderwood continued his winning record and in September 1960 he gained a ten-round points victory over American, Willie Pastrano, later to become world light-heavyweight champion.
After building up a record of 29 straight wins, he lost his first fight in March 1961 when he was beaten on points over ten rounds by the American, Von Clay, at the Empire Pool, Wembley.
By now Calderwood's record had earned him a shot at the World title, and in October 1966, he fought the WBA and WBC light-heavyweight champion José Torres, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
