Roland Todd vs Augie Ratner 1923-06-04

[Kohall]

The fight between Roland Todd and Augie Ratner is listed in Boxrec as involving the European middleweight and the British middleweight titles held by Todd. Is there any proof that any of these titles was at stake? It does not seem very likely when Ratner was an American. As far as I know, it was difficult even for British citizens to get an opportunity to fight for the British title as they had to be born in the country to be considered.

There is no way that this contest would have been reported in the United Kingdom as being for the European and British Middleweight Title.

Ratner one of my favourite boxers but please make the omission of this on his record.
