BOXING AFFAIRS
MEETING OF ASSOCIATION
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Friday. The fact that boxing in New Zealand was controlled by voluntary associations with no private promotion, and that consequently a duty rested upon associations to see that the sport was kept alive, was stressed by Mr. A. B. Joplin, .president, when a general meeting of the New Zealand Boxing Association was opened in Wellington to-day. An Auckland remit aiming at making it no longer necessary for a boxer to pay a percentage to the council out of money allowed for expenses was approved. A Wellington proposal to reduce the duration of professional championship bouts from 15 rounds to 12 rounds was defeated.
