ALBERT HALL BOUT
ON OCTOBER 28
TUNERO AND AL BROWN
BOOKED FOR LONDON
(By Harold Lewis)
London, September 25. LONDON boxing promoters continue to search the rest of the world for boxers for attractive matches. It was announced last night that for their second show at Earl's Court on Oct. 11 the Na tional Sporting Club have secured Kid Tunero, the Cuban middleweight, to fight Eddie Peirce, of South Africa. Peirce needs fights and is well worth couraging.
TUNERO IS NOW 27, AND WAS ON THE VERGE OF WORLD'S TITLE A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN HE BEAT MAR CEL THIL IN PARIS HOWEVER, HE CAME TO ENGLAND AFTERWARDS TO MEET JOCK MCAVOY AND WAS KNOCKED OUT IN THE SEVENTH ROUND, AND WAS LATER NA LY BEATEN BY THIL MOST OF HIS FIGHTING HAS BEEN IN PARISI

The return of Carnera is sur- prising. He is 31, and his car- eer was considered finished when he was twice knocked out by Leroy Haynes, a negro, in March and May, 1936. He has not box- ed in England for over five years, though his fight in the Albert Hall ring with Young Stribing will not have been forgotten. Stribling lost on a foul

Al Brown was also considered to have finished with the ring until he won a fight in Paris recently. He is now 35 and was boxing in this country 15 years ago. He held the world's title from 1929 to 1935, but claimed it earlier
