An exhibition of boxing which promises to provide the public with an exceptionally good enter. tainment, has been arranged to take place at the Po Hing Theatre, Kowloon, on Sunday at 9 p.m.
The main event will be a ten round contest between "Young" Aromin (117 lbs), leading contender for the bantamweight championship of Hongkong, und "Speed" Salazar (133 lbs), known as the Filipino whirlwind, who hails from Cebu, Philippine Islands..
They are three-minute rounds and there will be no draw decision: Should the boxers be on level points at the end of the scheduled ten
