Prize Ring Review Sees Fresh Heavyweight Hopefuls Emergence
Promoters across the country seek new heavyweight champions as Joe Rogers and J Kelly prepare for a June 17 showdown at the National Sporting Club of America. Kelly, a Yale athlete weighing 210 pounds, and Rogers, at 240 pounds and trained under Joe Jeannette, are described as powerful and fast. Tony Ross, hailed as the era’s most promising heavyweight, remains elusive to managers, missing a June 3 offer, while Mike Schreck looms as a near champion outside Jeffries. The piece anticipates a potential title-contending slugfest next week, hoping for a genuine challenger to Jeffries.
