Joe Louis to Fight Here September 24th
The "Brown Bomber" will box three rounds with his old sparring partner in civilian life, Sgt. George S. Nicholson, also a heavyweight. The two will likely "mix it up" for the soldiers of Atterbury as Joe's partner had been "taking it" for years. The exhibition bouts at the arena will be free for soldiers and their families only. Following the bouts the champion will give a short talk on physical fitness. |
