Boxer Meets Officials
Messrs E. G. Pocock (president) and R. Stevenson (publicity officer) of the Canterbury Boxing Association, met E. Mensah, the Ghanaian boxer and his trainer, Mr K. Dawson, at Mr Dawson’s home last evening. Mr Dawson said the meeting lasted three hours “I have no comment to make, at this stage,” he said afterwards.
Mr Stevenson, asked before the meeting if the association intended to offer Mensah more money than the £390 which will be his maxiearnings after his third fight, in Invercargill on June 11, replied: “I can only quote what Mr Pocock said at the executive meeting on Tuesday evening: ‘Mensah will leave New Zealand a financially happy man.’”
