MCAVOY'S CHANCE IN TILE BOUT

BRITISH CHAMPION

HEAVIER NOW

LEWIS HAS WEIGHT PROBLEM

(By HAROLD LEWIS)

London, September 30. THE return fight between John Henry Lewis and Jock McAvoy for the light-heavy-weight cham- pionship of the world, held by Lewis, is practically agreed. It will probably take place at the Empire Pool, Wembley, on November 23.

·

MCAVOY'S ACCEPTANCE IS REGARDED AS CERTAIN, AND LEWIS' MANAGER HAS AGREED TO TERMS, AND STATES THAT THIS WILL BE LEWIS LAST FIGHT AS A LIGHT-HEAVY-WEIGHT.

Lewis has been challenging Joe Louis for the past 12 months and he is so fine a boxer that he would have a chance. The idea of two coloured men meeting for the world's heavy-weight title, how- ever, would never appeal to promoters.
