First ever TV bout

So we reckon from this that the first ever TV bout happened like this.

22 August 1933
TV Studio, BBC Broadcasting House, Westminster, London, UK

Referee CH Holmes
Teddy Lewis (Bethnal Green) beat Freddy Baxter (Bethnal Green) PTS 4

The other bout on the night was an exhibition between Laurie Raiteri and Archie Sexton

Source - preview by Birmingham Daily Gazette 22 August 1933 and lots of reports on UK local newspapers the next day.

OK to add this to Boxrec?
