Too easy mate, I sent you an email.

Of course Anton! Should I post it here? I also may have some other ones too that Im in the process of searching for articles for.

Wondering who I need to speak with to add a bout to the record of Tommy Uren?

Jack Carroll had two fights where 30,000 attended and two with 20,000 in the mid 1930's!

Also, if anyone has any Carroll memorabilia at all, Im very interested in buying it from you!

Fantastic subject, one of Australia's greatest and very, very underrated. In 1936 he was ranked the no. 1 contender for Barney Ross's welterweight title by Ring Magazine. Good luck with it, would love to read it some day. Thanks for the reply grevan. Ive found plenty of big names from that time who...

I certainly enjoyed this fight last night. Very entertaining!

Its painstakingly time consuming but try searching, manually, the old newspapers via http://trove.nla.gov.au/

The Australian Biography series entry on Jack Carroll: http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/hardwick-arthur-ernest-6560 does have a small and limited bibliography listed, which may be of some value, if the items can be found: - J. Pollard, The Ampol Book of Australian Sporting Records (Syd, 1968) - P. C...

Havent found much footage unfortunately but still on the search. Only seen whats on the Thats Boxing dvd and some footage of his fight against Wes Ramey plus footage of one other unknown fight.

Thanks Beltane. I'll be sure to look into that.

Im writing a biography of sorts on Jack Carroll and would love to hear from anyone who may have known him or who might be able to share some first hand accounts or stories etc.

People actually paid for this fight ?
