Boxing vs Wrestling Debate Captures Leichhardt Stadium Night
In Sydney on Thursday September 16 1937 Jim Donald recounts a debate over boxing and wrestling. He notes wrestling draws big crowds at Rushcutter Bay and Leichhardt Stadiums while boxing suffers from weak showings and promotors failing to excite crowds. The column contrasts bouts featuring Fon Bielanik Max Raynor and Richards with a failing boxing card, arguing wrestling’s spectacle appeals more to the public and urging reforms to boxing rules.
