Boxing Deserves Full Support From The Colony's Sports Clubs
The first boxing promotion of the current season, was staged at the Missions to Seamen on Tuesday night and, quite apart from what took place within the ring, it underlined once again a prossing necessity for the future. Boxing in Hongkong has now been established on
