Max Schmeling, one-time world champion, heavyweight boxing won, his title on a foul by Jack Sharkey in the fourth round of a fight which was generally con- sidered to have resulted in the election of the successor to Gene Tunney, who retired from the ring shortly after beating Tom Heaney (New Zealand).
He held the title until June 21, 1931, when Sharkey obtained his revenge, securling a most doubtful decision in a 15 round bout in New York that year,
