World's Heavyweight Boxing Title

World's Heavyweight Boxing Title.

History was made in world championship boxing when Joe Louis defended his heavyweight crown within a few weeks of winning it from James Brad-dock. Although the Welshman, Tommy Farr, did not succeed in defeating the negro he did, at least, have the satisfaction of knowing that his performance, of going the full fifteen rounds and fighting all the way, has set the critics talking. He has done a great piece of work in re-establishing the reputation of British heavyweights And, a word of praise to the New Zealander, Strickland, who is steadily climbing the fistic ladder. He is ranked among the best in America and a title match with Louis is not beyond the bounds of possibility.
