Carpentier to Fight in U S For Red Cross
Renowned French boxer Georges Carpentier is rumored to travel to the United States for a charity bout with proceeds partly benefiting the American fund for the French wounded. Promoter Tex Rickard plans to earmark 27 000 dollars of Carpentier’s share to the fund, with 20 000 dollars paid to Carpentier on fight day. The opponent is undecided, possibly Willard. Carpentier, decorated three times for heroism as a French aviator, is celebrated as a national idol and champion with a storied boxing legacy. He resides with his family in Paris prior to wartime service.
