Boxing Showdown Sets Title-Free Madison Square Garden Match
Two boxing champions meet at Madison Square Garden in a ten round bout. Jock McAvoy, holder of British light heavyweight and middleweight crowns, faces Babe Risko, world middleweight champion, with no title at stake. McAvoy misses weight threshold, risking Risko’s crown as a possible path to Lewis or McAvoy’s light heavyweight shot. Promoter Jimmy Johnston targets late January or early February for one or both title fights. McAvoy’s American debut spark boosted him to strong odds against Risko.
