• Referee: Harry Reed

"The right hand of Eddie Anderson, Chicago lightweight boxer, was raised in victory twice in the same ring last night. Anderson and Miss Babe Matthews of Omaha marched down crowded aisles in evening dress to the strains of wedding music and were married in the ring as 'talkie' cameras ground away. Municipal Court Judge John Battin read the service and than raised Anderson's right hand, ancient token of victory in the squared circle. Anderson embraced his bride and she bestowed a kiss upon embarrassed Billy Vaughn of Omaha, Anderson's opponent in the semi-windup bout. The bridegroom then stripped down to his fighting toggs and punched out an eight-round victory." (Reno Evening Gazette)
