A aing-dong bout Is anticipated, and both men' are reported to be at their best. Gunn will have to fight i: rd to retain the championship, and whoever wins will have earned his victory. In addition to the big event five amateur bouts have been arranged, and these should provide some good boxing. Another bout has been arrang- , cd between R. Dudding and I.
