Boxing Bets Heat Up as Langford Johnson Clash Draws Big Purses
The National Sporting Club cut across small seats to offer a $40 000 purse for the Johnson Langford fight, raising the previous McIntosh offer by 10000. Langford’s manager Joe Woodman disputes American reports of Langford avoiding Johnson and says Langford signed with McIntosh first. Meanwhile Pidie Murphy trains with Johnny Glover to speed past Young Sammy Smith in an Armory Club bout, while Jack Fitzgerald travels to Manchester for a heavyweight clash with Andy Morris on Washington's Birthday.
