Wilde May Claim Bantam Title If He Beats Herman
New York December 24. Henry L. Farrell reports that the International Boxing Union may withhold recognizing Joe Lynch as bantamweight champion despite Welch being billed as the world title holder in England. If Jimmy Wilde defeats Pete Herman, British officials may claim the bantam crown for Welch, though U S rules differ on weigh-in timing. The piece notes the complexity of titles across nations and that Kilbane’s recognition by Europe remains disputed, while Lynch is deemed champion in America regardless.
