►
Fury
New York, Feb. 24. Joe Louls, holder, last night knocked out Nathan Mann in the third round of a 15-round contest for the world's heavyweight cham- pionship title..
It was Louis's best fight since he fought Max Schmeling. He dis- played all his old fury and had Mann down five times.
"The knock-out was delivered when the third round was I min- ute 48 seconds old, Louis getting in a terrific hook to the point of the jaw. Mann had not previously been knocked out.
The receipts were £20,000, Louis receiving 40 per cent, and Mann 15 per cent.
Lous will now defend his title against Jimmy Adamick on March 8.-(Reuter).
