BOXERS SROULD NOT MARRY
A boxer should not become occupied in business, or marry, untfi he has finished his boxing career, in the opinion of Fred Henneberry, former middle-weight champion of Australia. Henneberry attributes his collapse during his recent title fight with Tton Richards to his endeavour to be a successful bookmaker and at the same time to reach the highest pitch of condition for fighting. The responsibilities of roatrimony, he claims, are not conducive to the ease of mind tssential for a fighter before a contest; nor would the short J temper of the highly-strung boxer be . conducive to domestic harmony. A boxer should defer his wedding day until he retires from boxing. Henne-is-20-imd unmarriedr — - i - u. —
