WRESTLERS AND BOXERS
Sir,-I was amused to read the challenge by Fred Atkins. What hatred some professional wrestlers seem to harbour against boxers! But Atkins knows that he’s treading very safe ground. It would not be necessary to be a professional wrestler to have the presence of mind to pull the legs from under a man who has boxing gloves tied on. Again our hero bashfully admits that he is not fussy about the weights of the boxers he proposes to teach a lesson. He knows there is only one heavy-weight boxer of any standing in New Zealand and that this one weighs only 13 stone compared with Atkins’s 17 stone. It’s all just a cheap publicity trick to score off the manly sport on the flimsiest pretext.
