I forgot that I had posted this.

Jimmy Bviins defeated Anton Christofordis for the duration LH title on 2/23/43 in Cleveland (dec. 15). He defended it in Cleveland against Lloyd Marshall (KO 13) on June 6, 1943.Jaclem wrote:re: jimmy bivins...most interesting. i knew jimmy was rated number one in both weight divisions and was the interim heavy champ but didn't he also held that lightheavy title too. i think lesnevich felt safer in the armed forces than he did against bivins.
