Braddock May Face Schmeling Title Fight Next June
Promoter Joe Gould plans to file a 5000 dollar guarantee with the state athletic commission to seal Jimmy Braddock's title bout with Max Schmeling next June. If signed, negotiations for a 12 round no decision bout between Braddock and Joe Louis in Atlantic City next February would gain momentum. Herman Taylor backed Braddock with 300000 dollars for the Louis fight, but Gould needs time to resolve Madison Square Garden issues tied to Braddock's first defense.
