Wilde the Mighty Midget Targets American Bantams
The 24 year old British flyweight Wilde is hailed by Eugene Corri as the greatest English midget in a generation. He has 250 fights without defeat, often giving away weight to opponents. Wilde beat Young Symonds for the British flyweight title and defeated Sid Smith in March. He battered Young Rosner but lost patience with rounds, and he eyes a run at Kid Williams and Johnny Ertle in America. Corri praises his speed, timing, and footwork, noting he often fights with one hand crippled.
