BOXING
NEW ZEALAND ASSOCIATION (P.A.) WELLINGTON. Oct. 20. • The fact that boxing in New Zealand was controlled by voluntary associations with no private promotion and that consequently a duty rested upon the 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 to 12 rounds was defeated.
