I stumbled on a 1930's Boxing, Racing and Football and wondered if such things like a Heavyweight Novices Competition run by the NSC, get entered. The final saw Pat McAuliffe beat Ted Arpino (Bedford) in the final, looks like an older day Prizefighter competition with Quarters, Semis and Final on the same night.
I can't see Ted Arpino in the database at all, but there is a Tony Arpino heavyweight from Bedford around the same era.
