  • Location: Armory, Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
  • Notes

    Newspaper win for Greb (World News)and also according to the Chicago Tribune. According to the Grand Rapids Herald it was an exhibition "of splendid scientific boxing," Greb winning seven of the ten rounds. Wiggins landed some solid body blows, but as usual Greb landed far more punches than his opponent. He was so much faster afoot than Wiggins that the club physician compared him to a horse, whereas Wiggins appeared to be as slow comparatively as a cow. After the fight Wiggins admitted that Greb was "too fast and slippery" for him.
