(Both Summers and Keys, who are to ' contest -tne hest-of fifteen rounds at the Town Hall io-morrow evening, unuer the auspices of the Northern Boxing Association, have finished their heavy training, and are both as fit as hands can make them. The pair are easily the best of-their class thatthave yet appeared in Auckland, and both are confident of victory. Keys is a finished experienced boxer, with a perfect knowledge of rin<r tactics, -while Summers is both boxer and fighter, and is exceptionally clever at close -quarters. Keys has nodouht as to his ability to keep his opponent off during the fifteen Tounds, and with Summers equally as confident of wearing him down, the bout should be full of incident while they are at it. The pair are boxing at 10st., and the weighing-in takes place a-t the Turkish baths to-morrow at noon. Before the big event, which is timed for 9 p.m., there will be four amateur ■bouts: O'Connor v.
