HEAVY-WEIGHT BOXING
QUESTION OF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BRITISH BOARD' OF CONTROL'S DECISION Press Association —By Telegraph Copyright LONDON, June 30. (Received July 1, at 12.5 p.m.) The British Boxing Board of Control announces that it is recognising the 'Farr-Schmeling fight as the heavyweight world championship, because the Schmeling-Louis contest was the final elimination for the world championship and was decisively won by Schmeling, whose right it was to meet Braddock, who by withdrawing forfeited his claim to the title, hence the Braddock-Louis fight could be regarded only as an American championship.
