HAY TO BOX THOMPSON
Bout at Hawke’s Bay GATE TO QUAKE FUNDS Dominion Special Service > Hastings, March 15. The Hawke’s Bay Boxing Association at a meeting on Friday evening decided to confirm arrangements for a bout between Artie Hay, holder of the lightheavyweight, middle, and welterweight championships of New Zealand, and .Thompson, the Hastings boxer who, shortly after the last Dominion amateur championships, turned professional. The match will be for the New Zealand light-heavyweight title, and the purse of £5O guaranteed by the association. The match is largely the outcome of Hay’s offer to fight all-comers for any one of his titles in aid of the earthquake funds. Thompson is a likely boxer, and the coming match will marke his debut as a professional.
