Formidable Frenchman
Two double beds pushed together will be necessary to accommodate the giant French professional wrestler, Jean Ferre, in his Christchurch hotel tonight. Ferre, who will make his New Zealand debut in a handicap tag bout at Canterbury Court this evening, is 7ft 4in and 35st.
His physical superiority over the other wrestlers is so pronounced that he and his partner, Johnny Scott, will be asked to wrestle three rivals, Bruno Bekker, Ricky Wallace, and Brutal Bob Miller, in the tag bout.
