Dempsey-Tunney II Radio Broadcast

Post by evndrbsn »

I posted in the for sale/trade section but I noticed how inactive the thread had been so I was hoping someone could help me out here.

I'm looking for the original radio broadcast of Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney 2. I was trying to synch the radio broadcast I had on cassette with the silent version of the film on DVD and somehow I erased the first couple minutes of the tape. It was a prized possession of mine and I am looking for any help I can get. PM me if you have it or think you can point me in the right direction.

Maybe you can help me out Granberry or Barry, I know you and Barry are at the top of the historian lists here at BoxRec.

It is my understanding there is no recording of the complete Dempsey-Tunney II available for purchase by the public. A full copy reportedly is held by a private collector, who has not released it for reproduction and sale.

Thank you granberry.

In response to the other person, thats nice to know, I guess I should consider myself fortunate to have most of round 1 all the way through round 10 of the radio broadcast.

I also have a great newspaper article that covered the fight round by round, I just uploaded it if anyone is interested:

I have a lot more newspaper articles I could upload if anyone has any requests.
