Lou Ambers a 21 year old American lightweight pro for three years aims for the world title this week. He meets Tony Canzoneri in a 15 round match at Madison Square Garden with the vacant 195 pound throne at stake. Ambers would hold the title only in New York and some other commissions that recognize the local panel. The Kinois Commission will not recognize the winner as a legitimate successor to Barney Ross.

Ambers has lost only once since turning pro, to Steve Halasko, a decision later reversed. He has beaten two top lightweights in Harry Dublinsky and Sammy Fuller.
