Hi everyone,
I have tried to research this ticket several times and I cannot find anything. I stumbled upon this forum and it seems like a great place to ask.
This is a colored boxing ticket from 1948. The fight took place at American Legion Auditorium on November 22, 1948 and was apparently promoted by Boxing, Inc. I know it was 1948 because the ticket came with some other 1948 tickets and American Legion items and the November 22nd date fell on a Monday in 1948. This was a Colored Benefit and the cost was $1.25. This is ticket #293 and is a full complete ticket with the stub in tact. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Is it possible to find out who fought or anything? Thanks in advance.

There was a show there on 11-08-48 so the 22nd would have been exactly 2 weeks from that show. Some of the shows have not been entered on BoxingRec yet.
