I know it's a long shot, but does anyone have listings of Canadian exhibition bouts by Fitz, Johnson, Dempsey, Baer and Louis?

Re: Exhibition bouts
Try and get a copy of Joe Louis's 1978 autobigraphy MY LIFE.
In the appendix it lists most of his public exhibitions
( however missing in it is a listing of his private exhibitions and the exhibitions
he did when he was in the Army ( but there is a seperate thread on that somewhere in this forum).
as far a Canadian exhibtions,He did some there with the Cole Bros. Circus around 1950 if I remember correctly.
