Louis Schmeling Fight Contingent on Braddock Victory
Joe Louis agrees to meet Max Schmeling for the world heavyweight title early in September in the United States if Louis defeats Jim Braddock in Chicago on June 22. A letter signed by Louis and manager Julian Black prompted Schmeling’s promoter Mike Jacobs to relay the proposal. The plan envisions a fifteen round title bout in America with a 50 50 purse split, to be staged in New York if Louis wins the Chicago bout. Schmeling sails for Germany but stays ready to return once needed.
