BOXING.
JANNESSB V. GUNK. Jack Jaunesse, ex-bantam champion of Australia, who is to meet H. Gunn the N.Z. champion, in the Opera House on Friday next, is in hard training, and from all appearances will be at the top of his form when he steps into the ring with the New Zealand champion. H. Gunn is a very clever boxer, his recent victory over C. Cann demonstrated that fact, and the Timaru lad is expected by his many supporters to put up a great battle against the Australian. From what has been seen of Jaunesse he appears to be one of the very best men of his weight now in the game, and his clash with Gunn ought to provide one of the most interesting contests ever staged in Wanganui. It is to be hoped the local Association will receive the support it deserves for arranging a match which promises to be so exciting and to provide some remarkably clever boxing. There is every prospect of Jannesse giving an exhibition spar at the Drill Hall this evening. A definite announcement will be made in tonight’s paper.
