Summary

The management of the World Theatre announces the biggest boxing show overseen here in nine full reels of thrills, suspense and excitement. These are Dempsey vs. Gibbons, 15 rounds, and Firpo vs. Wills, 12 rounds. So great was the interest and enthusiasm aroused that when Harry Wills and Luis Firo fought a sensational 12 round bout at Jersey. When James A. Johnson announced that Dempsey was fighting Gibbons in Shelby, nobody believed it until 'Doc' Kearns, Demsey's manager, and Eddie Kane, Gibbons's manager, confirmed the news published.
