A Fight to Remember

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Introduced by Harry Carpenter.
Jack Sharkey was the champion and this was his first defence of the title. His opponent at 6ft. 5 3/4 ins. towered over him. The Ambling Alp, Primo Carnera, had another advantage-he was four stones heavier.

In the whole of his career so far only one man had beaten Sugar Ray Robinson. It was a long time ago, but that man now held the World Middleweight Championship and Sugar Ray wanted it.
