Won three TKO victories over Barry Rodney(twice) and Derek Groombridge in late 1965 and early 1966. The second win over Rodney and Groombridge was in a NOvice Heavyweight competition. Then in the final of that competition in Feb 1966 he lost a 3 round decision to Vic Moore. Kelly has no record of fighting again till March 1967 when he wins a 6 round decision over Barry Rodney. A month later he's stopped in the 4th round by roger Tighe and that's it for Kelly's career.

In October 1965 Brewster's first fight was an 8 round decision over LHW Godfrey Oliver who also was making his first go round in the ring. Next up for Brewster as Ulric Regis in May 1966 for the Trinidad and Tobago HW title. A scheduled 15 rounder, they fought into the 14th round before Regis stopped Brewster for the TKO victor. Next, Brewster was KO'd in the 3rd round by a Leo Peterson(3-5-0,2). Peterson would later go on to become George Forman's 9th victory. In March 1967 Brewster took on Bahamian, Carl Baker and fought him through 8 rounds, but to a decision loss. One more fight for Brewster is listed then 1969, the date uncertain, a 9th round TKO victory over a Pedro Sanchez(7-13-0,6KO).

BoxRec shows a fight against a George Wright listed in 1961 but the year and venue are unknown. So where they picked this record up at who knows. They list it as a 3rd round TKO win for Regis. Next in Feb 1961 Ulric is KO'd in the 3rd round by Mauro Mina in a fight in Lima, Peru. After that we next see Ulric back in his home country in April 1964. From then through June 1968 Regis fights poradically winning 5 fights loosing 4. He beats Leo Peterson(3-5-0,2) and Ken Brewster for the Trinidad and Tobago HW title in May 1966. His most impressive wins would be beating Bahamian HW Carl Baker three times. One of his losses is to Billy Daniels in November 1965 by 8th round TKO. Daniels had to rally to stop Regis and left the ring with a messy face. He also lost to LHW Dick Hall and Leotis Martin during that period. The Martin fight was Regis' only bout in 1967.
After beating Baker for the 3rd time, by 10th round KO in June 1968, Regis took off to fight in Europe where he fought for the remainder of his career. He beat Raimo Nisula in Turku, Finland, lost to Peter Boddington in London and defeated Hans Jorgen Jacobsen in Denmark all in 1968. He then fought and lost 3 times in 1969 to wrap up his career, to Jacobsen again in Denmark, to Nisula in Finland and finally to Joe Bugner in London. All three of those losses were 8 round decisions.
