on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

Eye-Witness Account by JACK HOOD of this eveniag's Boxing Match at the Albert Hall
Tonight's big fight has all the added interest that attaches to the meeting of champions at different weights. Jack Petersen is, of course, heavyweight champion of Great Britain ; Len Harvey was only recently a middleweight. He has won.his way to the cruiser title, and challenged Petersen for the supremo crown. On paper the match should be one-sided, but Harvey is one of the most skilful boxers living, and it may be that his undoubted mastery of ringcraft and the defensive arts will offset Petersen's clear superiority in weight and punch. If it does, boxing history will be made tonight, and Jack Hood , himself a famous champion, and an old rival of Len Harvey , can be trusted to do full justice to the event.
