1924 Boxing Campaign Highlights Invasions and Upsets
The 1924 boxing season closed with few sensational shocks but notable events. George Carpentier’s failed invasion of America and Luis Firpo’s slide from heavyweight contention marked the year. Ace Attel Goldstein dethroned Joe Lynch for the bantamweight title at Madison Square Garden, while Johnny Dundee relinquished the welterweight crown after a 28 round defense and the New York State Athletic Commission launched an elimination tournament. Benny Leonard defended the lightweight title against Pat Mullen, though injuries hampered him. Other champions faced challenges, including flyweight contenders and heavyweights, as the sport adjusted to new rules and rising prospects. Continued on Page 15.
